run script when shutdown

[O'lnes]

How can the system automatically run the scripts such as shutdown db , logout users when the system is shutdown?
Thx.

Hi,
Here's a partial answer:
1- write your script in a case segment including start, stop, start commands

2- save the script in /sbin/rc.init.d/your_script

3- create a symbolic link to this file in /sbin/rcR.d/ where R is the appropriate run level during STARTUP. Name the link sarting with an S (start) like (S540) the numbers here are for the order execution during startup.

4- create another symbolic link for the file in /sbin/rcR.d/ where R is the appropriate run level during SHUTDOWN.
Name the link sarting with an K (Kill) like (K540) the numbers here are for the order execution during shutdown.

4- Create additional configuration parmeters if any in /sbin/rc.config.d/ with the same name in /sbin/init.d/

Hope this works,,,,

Good Luck.

Hi,

As a general rule, you create the symbolic link for the stop case of your script one run level less than where you start it. In other words, if you start a process at run level 3, you generally want to stop it at run level 2.

For example:
create /sbin/init.d/myscript
ln -s /sbin/init.d/myscript /sbin/rc3.d/S100myscript
ln -s /sbin/init.d/myscript /sbin/rc2.d/K900myscript

How about spending some time fixing this? it's just plain laziness and lack of RESPECT for your fellow system admins that irks me to no end!
