Stop script on AIX

[ranjit]

Where is the best place to put an application stop script on AIX? Thereby enabling the application to shutdown cleanly when the system is rebooted?

I understand for a start script - the advice is /etc/rc.local followed by the appropriate /etc/inittab entry using run level 2

I believe it is in /etc/rc0.d

look at shutdown in the commands manual, i think it executes script file /etc/rc.shutdown. one thing to be aware of, if this script file does not exit with return code 0, shutdown stops.

gary.

AIX will exec /etc/rc.shutdown if it exists, otherwise it only gracefully stops itself. put your stop scripts, or calls to them, in there.
