I assume you mean that you invoke 'sendfax' from the shell script.

Although you could invoke 'faxsend' directly, if you prepared the fax 
and queue file properly, HylaFAX works best with a client-server 
arrangement ('sendfax').

So you can monitor 'faxstat' output until the fax is complete, or you 
can tweak FaxNotify (see 'man notify') in order to get you a signal 
indicating the job status.
