Well explained, Paul.  Now I understand. Thank you very much.

Also thanks a lot to Joseph and Brimer for their excellent help.

I think /etc/rc.d/rc is still used for effecting the runlevel changes
(at least on my RHEL 5.5 box). Reading through that shows (on line 45)
how it first processes all the K scripts for the new runlevel, and
then processes the S scripts. So, shutting down would access
/etc/rc.d/r0.d/ for the K* files, then the S* files.

/etc/init.d/killall is really just there as a sanity check, I think.

Verify your shutdown script matches the checks performed in
/etc/rc.d/rc's KILL area, and you should be good to go for proper K
script execution.

Happy Lunar Eclipse day,

Paul
