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

[Neil Aggarwal]

Greg:

I did this:
rm -f /etc/rc3.d/S85httpd
rm -f /etc/rc0.d/K15httpd
rm -f /etc/rc6.d/K15httpd
ln -s /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl /etc/rc3.d/S85httpd
ln -s /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl /etc/rc0.d/K15httpd
ln -s /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl /etc/rc6.d/K15httpd

And I still dont get the httpd stopped message when I do
/sbin/reboot

Any more ideas?

Thanks,
	Neil.
