Subject: shutdown process

Hi all,
I have written a module and loaded into kernel by
insmod. I want to let my module know when the system
is shutdown. How to let my module know that the system
is going to shutdown??

Thanks and Regards,
Manomugdha

See sig. Answering for Linux 2.6.x, but it looks like almost
no changes here from 2.4 to 2.6:


Call notifier_chain_register(&reboot_notifier_list, &notif_block);
or
register_reboot_notifier(&notif_block);

MOTD: Always include version info.
(Again. Sometimes I think ln -s /usr/src/linux/.config .signature)
