This is possibly correct.  However, if faxq has spawned a faxsend 
process and it receives the kill signal and then faxq is restarted 
before faxsend exits ... then you'll end up with two faxq processes 
running, and that causes funky behavior.  If you want to restart the 
daemons while outbound jobs are being processed then I recommend 
stopping them first, monitoring faxsend with ps, and then starting them 
when faxsend quits.

FaxSend re-reads the config file each time it is executed, so there's 
no need to "reload" the config if it is altered during an outgoing 
queue.  FaxGetty is a different beast, however... but I don't think 
that you're needing faxgetty to reload the config.
