I need to script graceful shutdown of applications prior to reboot or halt of our RS/6000 running AIX 4.3.3. Often, these boxes are rebooted by operations staff, and I'd like to make the process as painless for everybody involved. <br><br>I found /etc/rc.* scripts which start processes, but no corresponding kill scripts. What is the proper syntax, location, etc. for a kill script? Is there a way to correlate based on run level (as in HP-UX), or is everthing in AIX either on or off?<br><br>TIA<br>

Put all you application and database shutdown scripts in /etc/rc.shutdown. Make sure it's executable then all your stuff will shutdown cleanly.<br><br>Dave <p>Dave Hamilton<br><a href=mailto:dhamilton@gio.com.au>dhamilton@gio.com.au</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
