You'd have to stop *logd for example.
I know, that I won't get much favor with my argument, but I cannot stop myself from asking: why it is not possible to do something with Linux, which is possible with other (unnamed) operating systems? And concerning *logd, I have already stopped most of them (unless emergency.* and such stuff) or they are redirected to /dev/xconsole. Sorry, for the argument, but it seems to me, that for beauty of the programmer's logic some functionality (and users) are sacrificed.
