Network Shutdown Process

During system shutdown, /etc/init.d/network stops the daemons and disables the network devices. These are the actions the script performs at system shutdown:

  1. Kills all network services that may be associated with a shell (rlogind, rexecd, rshd, ftpd, telnetd, and so on).

  2. Kills some network daemons immediately (inetd, bootp, tftpd, snmpd, and so on).

  3. If NFS is running, unmounts remote filesystems.

  4. Kills all remote daemons.

  5. If NFS is running, unexports exported filesystems. See the ONC3/NFS Administrator's Guide and the NIS Administration Guide for complete information about the optional NFS software.

  6. Kills daemons that must be kept alive until the last minute (portmap, slip, ipfilterd).

  7. Gracefully takes the system off the FDDI ring, if it is on the ring.

  8. Stops the ypbind process of NIS.
