How could a script be started at at shutdown?

Hi, all!
My problem is : I want a shell script be started every time when the system is going to shut down. Has anybody any ideas?
Thanks

Include the shutdown command at the end of the script.

It´s a good idea. I´ve already done something like that, but what I was looking for is e.g. a file that is read after the shutdown is called, so that an entry in that file could call my script.

look in /etc/rc6 and rc0 and you'll see shutdown scripts. 0 is poweroff and 6 is reboot.
if you're not sure how this works then ls -l all the rc directories and you'll see how it's done.

MrTom's suggestion will also work. The /etc/rc.d/rc6.d directory is full of scripts that are run when rebooting, and the /etc/rc.d/rc0.d directory is for shutting down. Either copy your script in one (or both) of those directories or create a symbolic link.
