         If you have S98script in the rc3.d directory, you should put 
K98script in the same directory.  That way, when you start runlevel 3, it 
will run and when you change or stop runlevel 3, it should kill it.  I do 
not know if having the kill script with a different number than the start 
script would matter or not, but it makes things look better when trying to 
associate them.  I wouldn't think it would matter since from my 
understanding of it, the number is just telling the system the order of 
starting or deleting compared to the other starts and kills.
         Can you type in /etc/rc3.d/K11script to kill the process?  If it 
doesn't kill the process, then more than likely, it has nothing to do with 
changing run levels, it would probably mean that there is something wrong 
in the script.  Try running it manually and report the results back.
