The purpose of the fsysopts call is exactly to change the options of the running term process, and thus redirect all live users of the term node. It's completely illogical that killing the running term process helps in bringing a change to effect that is initiated with fsysopts. Are you really using fsysopts to redirect the term process, or are you by any chance running settrans? Please list the exact sequence of commands you are running, it's not clear from your message what you were doing. The problem that some programs open the device directly is unrelated to that.
