Yes, I spent a week trying all kinds of stuff trying to get
a script like this to work on CentOS 5.  Other custom scripts
worked, but for some reason I never could determine the one
to run at shutdown would not.  I finally wrote a script named
shutdn that would call my script to unmount cifs shares and
then run shutdown -h now.  It saved what's left of my sanity,
but the mystery is still there.
