hi,

shutdown -h

init 0 will call rc -- runlevel 0

/etc/rc0.d

in this file all "k" will process and in the same file there are 2 S

s00kill all & s01halt

this time s00 will remove all process from ram

&

s01 will send a signal to BIOS to shutdown the system.

guys Please correct any thing wrong.
