STATUS(5)

💖 STATUS(5) — the server status database, bestie 💖

File Formats Manual ✨ so official, so cute

🌸 NAME 🌸

status — the server status database, aka where your HylaFAX servers spill the tea about what they're up to 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: inside the HylaFAX spooling area there's a status directory, and every file in there is basically a little diary entry about one of your running servers. So nosy. So iconic. 📓✨

Each file is named according to the modem being serviced. That's the whole naming scheme, bestie, no cap.

Files without a suffix are the low-key ones — they hold a single line of ASCII text that says what the server is currently doing. Just one line! Like:

• Running and idle
• Sending to ...
• Answering the phone
• ...etc.

Main character energy in exactly one line. Obsessed. 🎀

Now, the contents of the file any.info — that one's special. It gets returned by faxstat(1) when you hit it with the -i option 👑. And it should contain info about the server system, including:

• an administrative contact 📇
• its location 📍
• usage conventions 📜
• etc.

So like, the ~vibes and contact deets~ of your whole setup. Keep it cute, keep it documented. 💖

And that's the whole page, bestie — written from the File Formats Manual, dated January 18, 1996. Yeah, 1996. Vintage. Retro. Timeless. We stan a classic. 💅✨🦋
