Re: How to run a script before shutdown?

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel@panix.com>]

After a script starts, each command in that script runs until the script 
ends.  I noticed when doing something different with wget and wanting to 
have wget do one command then wait until a download had completed that 
without a read command somewhere in the script the next wget command 
fires off as soon as the first one runs.
