Mike,
One place to look to see the steps that are taken during shutdown
or reboot are /etc/rc.d/rc0.d for shutdown and /etc/rc.d/rc6.d for
reboot. When you shutdown the system, it first runs all the K scripts
with the stop option, and then runs the S scripts with the start
option. (Actually, it does this for the rc?.d directory when changing
to any run level.) The number after the S or K determines the order
in witch they are run. Note: When determining the order, the leading
0 is important! K04something would come before K1something.
