Is there something like 'shutdownrc' at SunOS 4.1 ?

Am I missing something ? (maybe, since I keep as far away as possible
from SunOS). The replacement shell script would be something like:

Grab a message from the user - default to a generic message if only CR.
/etc/wall the message
sleep a little while
zap oracle
zap ingres
zap whatever
last warning before shutdown starts
sleep a bit
/etc/shutdown.bin

This would work - no ?
