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

[Gregory L. Camp]

Neil,

You shouldn't put the start/stop commands in the same rc?.d directory (rc3.d
in your example).  The stop command should be in rc0.d and rc6.d instead.

You enter rc0.d when you shutdown and halt (i.e. shutdown -h now), and rc6.d
when you shutdown and reboot (i.e. shutdown -r now).
