9. Appendix B. - Sample SHUTDOWN scripts

• Debian

9.1 Slackware - /etc/rc.d/rc.6

# rc.6          This file is executed by init when it goes into runlevel
#               0 (halt) or runlevel 6 (reboot). It kills all processes,
#               unmounts file systems and then either halts or reboots.
