Thank you very much for your nice response. Is this really a standard practice to create a startup for a daemon so that the daemon can be shut down when the system is shut down? Can you please point me to any manual or doc that describes this step?
I was thinking that by adding K05st.example to /etc/rc6.d e.g. would automatically take care of the daemon shutdown. Please be aware that killall gets excuted after K* in /etc/rc6.d: [root@lcls-srv20 init.d]# ls -all /etc/rc6.d/S00killall lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Mar 3 13:04 /etc/rc6.d/S00killall -> ../init.d/killall If killall is all needed, what is /etc/rc*.d/K* for? Thanks again.

Your start function needs to create a lockfile called /var/lock/subsys/<name of service> and then your stop function needs to remove it. The /etc/init.d/killall script will explain more. -- redhat-sysadmin-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-sysadmin-list -- redhat-sysadmin-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-sysadmin-list
