Simple question about shutdown-scripts

[Daniel Schneider_3]

Hi all,

I have a simple question about the shutdownscripts in /sbin/rc?.d:

I know, that startup scripts (S999*) will be executed in ascending order.
Now the question is: how is the sequence, when shutting down? Is it ascending, too (e.g. K100xx runs before K200xx), or is it inverse?

Thanks for all help
Best Regards
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
It is ascending order
k050 then K100...

All the best

Hi Daniel,

I use KXXX + SXXX = 1000

example
/sbin/rc3.d/S900Oracle
/sbin/rc2.d/K100Oracle

Hope this helps,
Robert-Jan

I do like Robert: last to sstart first beeing killed...
I wanted to tell you that you can check the order by looking at /etc/rc.log.old, at the end when it shuts down...

All the best

The sequence usually follows from simple shell globbing (on most SYSV Unices).
In the case of HP-UX it seems that the collating of the ls command determines the order (ls obeys LC_COLLATE, or LANG)
Have a look at the script /sbin/rc
There's a simple ls command to gather Kill or Start scripts.
So order can be seen from e.g.

ls -1 /sbin/rc2.d/K*
