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

[Jim Wildman]

As a general rule the numeric part of the Start/kill links should add
up to 100.  This ensures that the processes are killed in the same
order they were started.

S15command
goes with
K85command

Also note that the kill scripts are executed as you enter the run level
from a higher one.  So if the process is started in runlevel 3, you need
the kill script in runlevel 2.

chkconfig

is also a handy tool.
