Ohh, good question. One way to do it is to have an /etc/ttys.normal
and an /etc/ttys.hylafax, and have your shutdown script do a "rm
/etc/ttys;ln /etc/ttys.normal /etc/ttys" for non-hylafax, and "rm
/etc/ttys;ln /etc/ttys.hylafax /etc/ttys;faxquit ttyxxx" for notmal use.

You will also have to do a "kill -HUP" on your "init" process. This
is done with "kill -HUP 1" under SunOS.
