/etc/rcx.d/<script>

The reason RedHat does not kick off your K* rc shutdown scripts is because RedHat checks for a lock file for your script in /var/lock/subsys/<scriptname>

To fix this, simply add a line to your ' start ' section, something like this:

Code:

touch /var/lock/subsys/<scriptname>

This will create that 0 byte file that rc is looking for when it executes shutdown.

Here is the actual snippet of the code from /etc/rc.d/rc that does this:

Code:

# First, run the KILL scripts.
for i in /etc/rc$runlevel.d/K* ; do
        check_runlevel "$i" || continue

        # Check if the subsystem is already up.
        subsys=${i#/etc/rc$runlevel.d/K??}
        [ -f /var/lock/subsys/$subsys -o -f /var/lock/subsys/$subsys.init ] \
                || continue

        # Bring the subsystem down.
        if egrep -q "(killproc |action )" $i ; then
                $i stop
        else
                action $"Stopping $subsys: " $i stop
        fi
done
