So as not to have work destroyed if an update replaces /etc/shutdown, I recommend creating a separate /etc/shutdown.local script. /etc/shutdown makes a call to a file /etc/netware.clean, which does not exist by default. So I link (hard) /etc/shutdown.local to /etc/netware.clean. At least in AIX 4.1.4. AIX 4.2 does have a call to /etc/rc.shutdown, but my production platforms have not yet been (and will not soon be) upgraded.
