Actually most startup items support stop message, I do not think
it is implemented right now to call the startup items in reverse
order when restarting/shutting down.

Look at SystemStarter(8) for more information on that.

It is my impression, that the stop methods are not (yet) called at system shutdown.
Look at this post from omni's macosx-admin list:

before I killed half a day trying to figure out why the stop portion of my
startup item was not working correctly.

Now the question is, how the heck do I cleanly shutdown a process? The
specific issue I'm trying to solve is to shut down postgres cleanly, but in
general how do I run a cleanup task at shutdown?
