I'm confused.
I thought i knew how the Linux init scripts worked, and it seems i do not.
For reference I'm working on a slightly elderly CentOS5.7.

I have written this script which basically does nothing other then print messages:

# cat /etc/init.d/dom 

#!/bin/bash
#
# chkconfig: 345 95 5
# description: NOP test
# processname: dom

# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions


RETVAL=0
prog="dom"

start() 
 echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
 echo
 return $RETVAL


stop() 
 echo -n $"Stopping $prog: "
 echo
 return $RETVAL


restart() 
 stop
 start


reload() 
 restart


status_at() 
 echo "OK"


case "$1" in
start)
 start
 ;;
stop)
 stop
 ;;
reload|restart)
 restart
 ;;
condrestart)
 restart
 ;;
status)
 status_at
 ;;
*)
 echo $"Usage: $0 start"
 exit 1
esac

exit $?
exit $RETVAL

Once I copied it into /etc/init.d/ the I added it using chkconfig.

# chkconfig --add dom
# chkconfig --list dom
dom 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

chkconfig creates a bunch of symbolic links to the /etc/init.d/dom.

# find /etc/rc* -name *dom

/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S95dom
/etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K05dom
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S95dom
/etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K05dom
/etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S95dom
/etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K05dom
/etc/rc.d/init.d/dom
/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K05dom

The service can be stopped & started manually:

# service dom restart
Stopping dom: 
Starting dom: 

So far all of this is good.

When I bootup into initlevel 3 then the 'start' (/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S95dom) gets called:

atd: [ OK ]
Starting dom: 
Starting perfmon: [ OK ]

However, when I shutdown (runlevel 6) the 'kill' (/etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K05dom) is not called.

INIT: Switching to runlevel: 6
INIT: Sending processes the TERM signal
Stopping atd: [ OK ]
Stopping perfmon: [ OK ]

It should have been stopped just after atd (05).

Have I misunderstood something ? How can I debug this ?
