indo1144, I suggest you test it.

Create only a S10test (as alpha_manic was doing) in /etc/rc6.d as a link to /etc/init.d. Put in a sleep statement so you don't miss the message. See if it shows up during a shutdown now -r and if it's after the system has completed the shutdown and has restarted or before.

While the server is changing run levels (shutting down) it runs the K scripts, killing off processes - if it also ran the S scripts (to start processes), then you would have processes still running when the server was attempting to reboot.

indo1144,

I looked again at the output you posted for your /etc/rc6.d - very interesting. No wonder you state it will run (and probably will on Debian).

Here's Fedora's /etc/rc6.d listing
Code:
 rc6.d]# ls
K01yum                       K20nfs           K65krb524         K87portmap
K02cups-config-daemon        K20tomcat5       K65krb5kdc        K88syslog
K02haldaemon                 K24irda          K66mDNSResponder  K89named
K02NetworkManager            K25squid         K67nifd           K89netplugd
K02NetworkManagerDispatcher  K25sshd          K68rpcidmapd      K89rdisc
K03messagebus                K30sendmail      K69rpcgssd        K90bluetooth
K03rhnsd                     K30spamassassin  K69rpcsvcgssd     K90network
K05anacron                   K35smb           K72autofs         K91isdn

K05saslauthd                 K35winbind       K74apmd           K94diskdump
K10cups                      K36mysqld        K74nscd           K95kudzu
K10dc_server                 K50netdump       K74ntpd           K96pcmcia
K10psacct                    K50tux           K75netfs          K99cpuspeed
K10xfs                       K56acpid         K85mdmonitor      S00killall
K12dc_client                 K60crond         K85mdmpd          S01reboot
K15gpm                       K65kadmin        K86nfslock        S10test
K15httpd                     K65kprop         K87auditd

Note, that there are normally only two S scripts - killall and reboot - it would never get to S10test since the reboot script does a halt. Solaris doesn't have a /etc/rc6.d - it runs through the levels and runs all the K scripts and then reboots. So your information is correct for Debian - it may not be correct for any other UNIX OS.

I be~ieve that using K and S for starting and stopping daemon processes is standard for all Sys-V based OSes. In my experience with Solaris, and all Linuxes except Slackware, that's how it works. If you want to put a script before the reboot, you can just rename S01reboot to S02reboot and then make a new S01myscript. Unless you're sourcing /etc/init.d/functions in your script, you could even call it K??myscript (where ?? is an unused location) and it will just run the script at its turn. The S and K magic only happens if you include the init.d/functions file.
