I've got an odd problem. My server will not shutdown normally because the AoE driver is not being shut down properly. While investigating the problem, I found that the aoe script is apparently not being called for shutdown. I have been able to duplicate this with a brand new test script.
My test script is just a simple file that echos back the start or stop command:
#!/bin/bash # # chkconfig: 45 01 99 # description: Test Start and stop script #
echo "Called with $1"
I installed it with 'chkconfig --add mytest'.
The softlinks exist in the runlevel directories: /etc/rc.d/init.d/mytest /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K99mytest /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K99mytest /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K99mytest /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K99mytest /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S01mytest /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S01mytest /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K99mytest
When I 'telinit 4', I can see the script output in /var/log/messages:
Dec 19 11:46:49 bnofdn1 mytest: Called with start Dec 19 11:46:49 bnofdn1 rc: Starting mytest: succeeded
When I 'telinit 3', there is no output from this script. It is like the script is not even being called.
Am I doing something stupid here? When I do 'telinit 3' from a higher runlevel, isn't it supposed to run all of the 'K*' scripts in rc3.d with a 'stop' argument?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

IIRC, you need to have your init script place a lock file named the service name in /var/lock/subsys for the stop to execute.

I knew (and forgot) that ... thanks for following up on the list.

Use "chkconfig mytest on", and try again. It _might_ solve your problem.

Well, as I look at your links, I see none to start your script at runlevel 3, i.e. no S01myTest under rc3.d .... maybe I'm missing something ....
The init process only runs K* under runlevel 4 (rc4.d) when exiting runlevel 4, then runs all of the S* stuff under the new runlevel. $0.02, no more, no less ....
