Thanks Jilles, So I appended to my rc.shutdown
	# -x not -f below to also allow a symbolic link to work.
	if [ -x "/etc/rc.shutmedia" ]; then
		/etc/rc.shutmedia
& renamed my URL to  http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/bin/.sh/rc.shutmedia

Yes, bad enough for a local laptop to hang, 
if it was a remote server, very nasty.
