Yes, it should have, but it haven't :) So I've got wondering :)

    Hi list,
    
    Watching the thread about startup script I thought of a question about 
    shutdown script. 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).

  At least MySQL should have told you how to shutdown when installing it.
  
  rc.shutdown(8)
