Start & Kill scripts in rc*.d

[Vibhor Kumar Agarwal]

There you go.

"shutdown -r" did the job.

And we were struggling with all the heck. ;-)

I guess we assumed you knew that. ;-)

You can also test without rebooting by using "init s" or other levels, to go up and down.

Obviously your kill scripts were never going to work as long as they were being skipped by your use of the reboot command, but I do believe you had several other problems (putting the scripts directly in the rc?.d directories, following the rules outline in the rc man page, etc.) that also would have given you problems. So, while it may seem like everything was fixed by switching to the shutdown command, I think a lot of very positive work happened here to make your shutdown process successful.

Shalom,

Reboot then the system is hung and not responsive.

If you want the kill scripts to execute, shutdown -r
shutdown -h

You can put a set -x in the script to try and get some data as to which script is hanging and why.

If it is hung during booting up, you can use Ctrl\ to escape from it.
