These are run by a '*' glob - so the shutdown order is the same as startup - it should be reverse. eg: if you start mysql first, then apache, you want to shut down apache first before stopping mysql. Using the same rc.d thing prevents the ability to do this unless people want to get tricky with 'sort -r' etc. Right now, you have to stick a number in front of 'mysql.sh' to make it glob before 'apache.sh'. By all means, use start/stop args, but hard link the .sh files into seperate directories or something so that the order can be tweaked..
