Well, say you are running `httpd' which has been launched at boot-time.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# cat /var/run/httpd.pid
5491
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ls /var/run/daemons/httpd
/var/run/daemons/httpd

Now, let's stop the daemon and check again :

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# /etc/rc.d/httpd stop
:: Stopping HTTP Daemon                                 [DONE]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# cat /var/run/daemons/httpd
cat: /var/run/daemons/httpd: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ls /var/run/daemons/httpd
ls: /var/run/daemons/httpd: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type

Now, if you Start the exact same daemon, using `/etc/rc.d/httpd start', above
files will be recreated. So I assume that the daemon will be stopped when you
shutdown the system.

So, every daemon launched the Arch Way (TM) will be automatically shut down
if needed.

NB: excuse my poor english, I'm *very* tired.
