Hi ;
    I have created rc.shutdown directory in /usr/local/etc , and put a 
sample script under rc.shutdown directory in order to command the system 
execute the script first before it is going to reboot . But somehow , it 
doesn't work .
     What happened ?

My sample script is as follow ...
LOCALETC=/usr/local/etc
messages='The system has been rebooted, so the MRTG program is rerunning'

if [ -f $LOCALETC/mrtg/cisco7000.pid ]; then
rm -f $LOCALETC/mrtg/cisco7000.pid
echo $messages | mail -s "Restart MRTG daemon" abc@defasddd.com
fi
