Since I can’t find any useful documentation on how to write shutdown/startup scripts for systemd itself, still using the following in scripts
BEGIN INIT INFO
Provides: somedaemon
Required-Start:
Required-Stop:
Default-Start: 3 5
Default-Stop: 0 1 6
Description:
END INIT INFO
Startup works fine after place somedaemon script into /etc/init.d and executing : systemctl enable somedaemon ; systemctl start somedaemon
shutdown execution does not seem to work so well, in face it isn’t getting shutdown. Is there something simple I’m missing?

What documentation have you found? What have you tried? In general the
service unit files are fairly simple; I worked through docs and examples a
couple years ago and found it pretty straight-forward, but since then I’ve
found I was lucky and that, like anything, it can depend on the scenario.
Knowing how your ‘somedaemon’ thing works is probably useful, as it
understanding its startup properly.

I presume this daemon does not have any service/system dependencies, so
that’s interesting, and probably not something I’d emulate. Most services
I’ve seen at least have something like $local_fs or $network in there.

Care to share the output from your shutdown attempt? I presume you are
using ‘stop’ and not ‘shutdown’ for the service.
Also, one of the benefits of systemd is great logging of what happens when
a service tires to do something. What does the following show:
[CODE[
systemctl status somedaemon
[/CODE]

Good luck.
