Refreshing the Status File

Status information is not appended to the status file; it is overwritten. When the status records are updated in the status file, the record for a particular fax channel is overwritten with the latest status information for that channel.

The STATUST command parameter specifies the interval (in seconds and milliseconds) between the posting of status records to disk. The range for the parameter value is between 0 and 32,767, with 0 being disabling; a reasonable number is 5.

NOTE:

The STATUST command is for an entire chassis, and not just for one fax channel in the chassis.
