Can someone please explain the order of the /etc/rc.d/rcN.d/KNN* files execution during shutdown? First which directory is used for the files rc0.d? I have a few homegrown files that are are all symlinked as K01<somethingorother> eg. they all start with "K01" and should be executed first. I only see a single one of the files executed, most are skipped. Does each file need a unique Knn number or is sharing a number legal? The files run fine is I do a "service foo start" or "service foo stop". It is just the automatic shutdown that seems to skip them. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S. Rupprecht http://www.wsrcc.com/wolfgang/
