Are you talking about /etc/rc.local, or /etc/init.d/rc.local here? > Is there an equilavent stop script ? > Some use rc.shutdown or rc.local.shutdown, but why invent another > file when no other init script is broken into separate pieces. I would recommend creating a proper init.d script and symlink it instead of using rc.local. /etc/init.d/rc.local is for backwards compatibility with systems with /etc/rc.local, and as far as I know, the features it is supposed to be compatible with only used it at boot. > I'm not the only one: > http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Fedora/2007-08/msg00046.html > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=745209 > etc. Follow the advice at the end of the ubuntu thread: You could create a new script in /etc/init.d and then make a symlink to it in the appropriate /etc/rcx.d directories. Have a look at the update-rc.d command, which automates this process. That is the proper way to add code into the boot and shutdown sequence.
