Yeah, I sort of jumped the gun on that response...I have been spending most of my time lately with AIX 4.2, which does have the rc.shutdown feature. However, someone pointed out to me that earlier versions do not support rc.shutdown and sure enough, I see no mention of it on my 4.1.4 or 3.2.5 systems.
