Thanks to all who replied, far, far too many to mention.
Basically, and according to the manual page for 'shutdown' the kill scripts
are not run when using the '-r' flag
... Note that the -h and -r flags use a broadcast kill signal
and not the run level transition scripts. To use the run level transition
scripts, execute the shutdown command without the -h or -r flag. This will
bring the system down to single user mode. From single user mode, execute
shutdown with the -h or -r flag. Alternatively, you can execute init 0
which will bring the system from level 3 to the console prompt.
Again, many thanks.
