How do I install my own service

How do I install my own service

[Ramzez]

HI friends...

  please, how can I install my own service (i'm using RH9.0).

  I make my script in /etc/rc.d/init.d ... something like this:
-------------------------- killMyTemp -----------------------
	#!/bin/sh
	rm -rf /home/FamilyGroup/tmp/*
--------------------------
  then I make a soft-link in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d ... 
  again, something like: ln -s ../init.d/killMyTemp K99killMyTemp ...

  But when I turn-off my PC, this script didn't run; why?

thanks

Assuming that by "turn-off" you mean run the "shutdown" or "halt" command 
... it does not run because shutdown is runlevel 6, not runlevel 5 (or at 
least it is on every Linux system I've ever used ... I haven't used RH in a 
very long time, though). If you look in (probably - I don't know RH's 
organization) /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/, you will see the symlinks for the init 
scripts that run as part of shutdown.
