Hi,
 
I have a special requirement for starting and shutting down a particular
daemon.  For starting up no problem, I can create a file abc.sh in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d.  But what about shutting down the daemon?  It cannot be
simply killed by -15 or -9.  Some custom action must be taken place before
the daemon got killed.
 
Is there any way to achieve this?  I tried to put in some instructions in
/etc/rc.shutdown, but it seems that this script (rc.shutdown) didn't get
called at all if I use reboot/shutdown -r now/shutdown -h now/halt to stop
the system.
 
However, if I press Ctl-Alt-Del this script did get called.

I am using Release 3.2 on Intel platform, if this matters.
