-a time

Specify a new time to send a job. The syntax for specifying a time is the same as used by sendfax(1) (and at(1) ).

-h host

Force the server to be contacted on a specific host . The host may be either a symbolic name or a network address. If no -h option is supplied, faxalter uses the FAXSERVER environment variable to identify the (Fx server to contact. If this variable is not set, then faxalter checks for a setting in the configuration files (first in the per-user file and then in the system-wide file). If all of the above fails, then faxalter attempts to contact a server on the machine where it is run.

-k time

Specify a new time to kill a job; the syntax is the same as used for the -a option.

-m modem

Assign/reassign the jobs to the specified modem . Specifying ``any'' for modem causes the jobs to be scheduled for any available modem.

-p

The jobs should be pushed ; that is, they should be sent immediately (this is equivalent to ``-a now''.)

-P pri

Set the scheduling priority for the specified jobs. The priority is an integer value in the range 0-255; lower values give a job higher priority. The default scheduling priority for a job is 127 and priorities are recalculated after each attempt to process a job.

-t tries

Set the maximum number of times the server should call the remote fax machine.

-n scheme

Select a notification scheme to use for the specified jobs. Possible schemes are: ``none'' for no notification (default), ``when done'' for notification when the job is completed, ``when requeued'' for notification when the job is requeued after a failed transmission attempt. The -Q , -D , and -R options are shorthand for these notification schemes, respectively. One can also leave off ``when'' when using the -n option; e.g., ``done'' instead of ``when done''.

-v

Trace the protocol exchanges between faxalter and the remote hfaxd process. Tracing information is written to the standard output.
