Centos – Check BIND version in CentOS

Open up the /etc/init.d/mysqld script, find the --skip-networking parameter and remove it.

I am not a linux guru, more of a noob actually, but in order to execute the shutdown script you must create a lock file in /var/lock/subsys/ folder in your startup script. I found the answer here: CentOS Forum

Script example:

#!/bin/sh
# chkconfig: 345 98 11
# description: my auto start-stop script.

echo "my service is doing something :)" >> /root/tempfile
case "$1" in
 start)
  echo "my service started" >> /root/tempfile
  touch /var/lock/subsys/myservice
  echo "OK"
  ;;
 stop)
  echo "my service stoped" >> /root/tempfile
  rm -f /var/lock/subsys/myservice
  echo "OK"
  ;;
esac
