Hi friends, I put the following script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/avi . There are links from /etc/rc.d/rc2.d & /etc/rc.d/rc6.d as follows: K99avi -> ../init.d/avi There are also links from /etc/rc.d/rc3.d & /etc/rc5.d as follows: S99avi -> ../init.d/avi Problem: When a system is rebooted with the "reboot" or "shutdown -r now" commands, the K99avi links are NOT executed, and there is no warnings in the /var/log/messages file. THe S99avi links work fine upon startup of the system. I tested it in RedHat 6.2 (Kernels 2.2.14-5.0, 2.2.16, ...) Any help is appreciated!
