Traditionally the HylaFAX init scripts didn't start or stop faxgettys 
because they were usually run from /etc/inittab so that they would 
respawn if they exited or crashed. These days faxgetty is often run as a 
daemon as you've suggested, and some distributions do modify their init 
scripts to accommodate it. However, the RPMs distributed at 
sourceforge.net are not this way as they still follow the traditional 
approach (so that people can upgrade without headaches).

Thanks,

Lee.
