Kill scripts not being executed upon reboot

[druidmatrix]

Hello,

I have an application that absolutely needs the kill script to run on reboot/shutdown. I have the service added to chkconfig running at runlevels 3,4 and 5. I have the necessary S and K scripts (S is 99 and K is 01) in /etc/r3.d, rc4.d and rc5.d. I also have the K01 link in /etc/rc6.d.

When I issue a `reboot` from runlevel 3, I dont see any of the K scripts executing, although the S script does run at startup. I can tell this because the first line in the init.d script is to write a line to the application log file - "starting" for start and "stopping" for stop. I see the "starting" lines, but no "stopping" lines at all unless the script is run manually with a stop argument.

I am RHEL5 release 5.1 (Tikanga). Has anyone else come across similar issues? Perhaps one of the Guru's will be kind enough to take a look?

Thanks in advance.

Move your 'K' script to rc6.d directory.
INIT6 is run for shutdown/reboot

Yes I have already tried that - please see last line on 1st paragraph of original question. Believe this is a RHEL 5 bug.

Issue was resolved in another forum. Correct answer, if anyone is interested, is that /etc/rc looks for a file under /var/locl/subsys/functionname to see if K scripts need to be run for that function.

That should be '/var/lock/subsys'
