I don't have any manual that describes this, but it is clearly done in
every Red Hat-provided service script .. and reading /etc/init.d/killall
reinforces that.

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.
Jingchen

Subject: Re: /etc/rc*.d/K05st.exmple not executed when the system is shut down
Quoting "Zhou, Jingchen" <[email protected]>:
I have a dummy startup file st.example in /etc/init.d (see below), which has
been added to the system run levels as
[root@srv]# chkconfig --list st.example
st.example 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:off 6:off
[root@srv]# ls /etc/rc*.d/*st.example /etc/rc0.d/K05st.example
/etc/rc3.d/S92st.example /etc/rc6.d/K05st.example /etc/rc1.d/K05st.example
/etc/rc4.d/K05st.example /etc/rc2.d/K05st.example /etc/rc5.d/K05st.example
When I shut down the system, "stop" (or K05st.example) somehow is never
executed (I don't see the log file in /tmp, and I don't see the shutdown
message in /var/log/messages after the system is back up.). "start" always
works as expected when the system comes up.
Am I missing any?
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.
