Yes it's obvious :) But I've got a little bit confused because I've seen very few using it. But that's already my problem, isn't it? :) Thanks :)

I that place should be commands for all services which require shutdown command. I hope it is what You looking for ;) (sorry if it is to obvious true for You).

Is it necessary to shutdown certain services when machine goes down? Like for example mysql, dovecot, clamav, amavis or openvpn. I've never saw anybody do that. Lots of people on their manuals, tutorials or posts writes how to start mysql, but none of then writes a shutdown script. So maybe it is not so necessary? (But then again, mysql is a database engine, and databases should be handle with care).
