script at the shutdown

Hello

Does anyone know if we can execute a script (automatically) when
we are giving the command shutdown ?

I haven't done this myself, but you should be able to simply hook a call to your desired script into one of the existing scripts in /etc/rc.d/rc6.d. The scripts there are called whenever SuSE shifts to run level 6, which is reboot or shutdown. I am sure that alternately you can just add another script to /etc/rc.d/rc6.d, but I am not sure how to ensure that it will execute. Simply adding to an existing script should be foolproof. Let us know if this works.

Hello!

This is not quite correct:

Runlevel 6 is Reboot
Runlevel 0 is Shutdown

You can add your script via YaST.

What do you want the script to do? Just curious.

my script has to remove a psecific line form /etc/fstab in the shutdown or reboot process.
