I needed to do this on a 386i, from a shell script. What I did was to put
the process id of the shell that execs suntools in an environment
variable, and then send a TERM sig to that process, suntools on the 386i
has a signal handler that catches SIGTERM and cleans up. You can get the
386i behavior on 3's and 4's by compiling
/usr/share/src/sun/suntool/suntools.c with -Decd.suntools.
