[TriLUG] how to get /etc/rcd.6/ to perform an action

[Jon Carnes]

The easiest way would probably be to let:
  /etc/rc.d/init.d/killall 

call rc.local.shutdown (assuming that is the name of a script you
created).


But if you wanted to have it run as a process all by itself then you
probably need to rename:
   S00killall  ===>  S02killall
   S01reboot   ===>  S03reboot

And then add yours as S01local.shutdown (really a sym-link to the
script), so that it would run before the other two processes (killall
and reboot).

Enjoy! - Jon Carnes
