Hello group. I have been googling for about a week and cannot find the answer to this question. I have Redhat Enterprise Linux 64bit with Kernel 2.6.9-34 and need to control the shutdown process. Here is my scenario: I am using a NetApp filer for storage with my Oracle 10g database and binaries running on the filer connected via NFS. When my computer operator does a shutdown from the console via the GUI interface, I need the system to run my Oracle shutdown script first before doing anything else and then continue on with normal shutdown. My CIO doesn't want the operators to run stuff at the command prompt so shelling out to run my script first isn't an option. I created K01ora_stop scripts in RC0.d, RC1.d, RC5.d, RC6.d and this has no effect. NFS still gets dumped before Oracle which creates obvious issues. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://mailman.mn-linux.org/pipermail/tclug-list/attachments/20060606/220c8234/attachment.htm
