Therefore the top line should be: #! /bin/bash In order for the script to be able to kill the process. Additionally when copied and pasted, this article has backquotes around the ...Shutting down... echo, which of course throw a wobbly when output, so be sure to change them to normal quotes ("). Other than that, this script quickly solved my problems, and chkconfig and rsync are now living happily ever after.
