[NTLUG:Discuss] How to stop process at system shutdown

[Kyle Davenport]

Try using tksysv.  It will create the correct links from start/stop scripts
(with console output of start/stop) in /etc/rc.d/init.d.   If you look in
/etc/rc.d/rc you'll see it calls the "leaving runlevel" rc#.d scripts like "$i
stop".

Subject:  [NTLUG:Discuss] How to stop process at system shutdown



Hello:

I am using RedHat 7.0.

I am trying to figure out how to get apache to stop and start
at system startup and shutdown.

I installed apache 1.3.14 in /usr/local/apache.  It has a
SysV-type start and stop file in /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl,
so I added these links:
ln -s /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl /etc/rc3.d/S85httpd
ln -s /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl /etc/rc3.d/K85httpd

When I start the system I see a message that apache is
starting, but when I shutdown the system, I dont see a
message that apache is stopping.

I added an echo statement to the stop case of the apachectl file,
but I dont get that message.

Can someone guide me on this?
I am sure it is something simple, but I dont fully understand
the SysV stuff.
