I would advise not to touch the standard scripts like
/etc/rc.d/init.d/halt, but to write your own script which does what you
want, put it into /etc/rc.d/init.d/ sub-directory and add this script name
into the list of those executed at the 6th runlevel. If you have KDE
installed then just use the utility with the name like 'SysVinit', if not
you'll probably have to do it manually as the standard runlevels utility
from the control-panel does not allow to edit this (6th) runlevel.
Just go into the sub-directory with the number which corresponds to the
runlevel you want to edit (this is in /etc/rc.d directory) and add links
to the script you've written.
Good luck,
Alexei
