I have written these patches for a long time but to be complete they
require patches to halt/reboot as well in order to make it work when using
halt or reboot. Now, the patches makes init run /etc/rc.shutdown only when
using "shutdown".

I think we can do without them but the /etc/rc.shutdown feature is much
needed IMO.
On my system, I use /etc/rc.d with symlinks to /etc/init.d:
init.d:
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 188 Sep 25 1995 README
-rwxr-x--- 1 root wheel 359 Mar 7 21:58 httpd.sh*
-rwxr-x--- 1 root wheel 244 Jun 30 14:14 news.sh*
-rwxr-x--- 1 root wheel 314 Nov 17 1995 ssh.sh*
rc.d:
total 0
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 17 May 27 00:28 90news.sh@ -> ../init.d/news.sh
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16 May 27 00:28 91ssh.sh@ -> ../init.d/ssh.sh
That way, only news.sh and ssh.sh are run at startup but I can do
"/etc/init.d/httpd.sh start" if I want.
Here is my /etc/rc.shutdown
------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# $Id$
# System shutdown script run by init on shutdown.
#
# Output and error are redirected to console by init,
# and the console is the controlling terminal.
#
# NOTE: this script is run ONLY IF you use either "shutdown" or
# "shutdown [-h]", NOT if you use reboot(8) or halt(8).
echo "Bringing the system down, please wait..."
# If there is a global system configuration file, suck it in.
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig ]; then
. /etc/sysconfig
fi
# for each valid dir in $local_startup, search for init scripts matching *.sh
if [ "X${local_startup}" != X"NO" ]; then
echo -n 'Local package startup:'
for dir in ${local_startup}; do
[ -d ${dir} ] && for script in ${dir}/*.sh; do
[ -x ${script} ] && ${script} stop
done
done
echo .
fi
