Hi Chuck:
When creating the link into rc0.d and rc6.d did you use a name
starting with "K"? If my understanding is correct the "S"
scripts get executed while starting up and the "K" scripts get
executed when shutting down. Think S for start and K for kill.
This is my UNIX experience talking, I have not actually tried
it on Linux.
HTH
Regards, Hugh
