CentOS - Dec 2010 - shutdown script

I have a daemon that throws an exception whenever I shutdown or
reboot.  However, stopping it with kill -15, or calling the
stop command in its start stop script (in /etc/init.d/) results
in correct termination.

Therefore, might it be that shutdown or reboot call an initial script
in which I can stop the daemon, and then delay a little?

Thanks,
Mike.

Wait - what I get from what you say, above, is that it's not killed by its
script in /etc/init.d: why not? What's the output from chkconfig --list
<servicename>?
