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

[Michael Patrick]

Neil,

As I understand this issue, you are looking for the green [OK] as your
machine is going down.  You will not get that just using apachectl.  The
status codes are written using the functions in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

In particular,

echo_success() {
  [ "$BOOTUP" = "color" ] && $MOVE_TO_COL
  echo -n "[  "
  [ "$BOOTUP" = "color" ] && $SETCOLOR_SUCCESS
  echo -n "OK"
  [ "$BOOTUP" = "color" ] && $SETCOLOR_NORMAL
  echo -n "  ]"
  echo -ne "\r"
  return 0
}

does the [OK].  All the init-scripts I've seen use the killproc function,
which in turn calls echo_success().

Given time, I will try to test this theory this evening and let you know
what I find.  I'd try it now, but I think work would frown on it.

Everyone else... if I'm on crack here, lemme know. :)

Michael
