Not
kill -TERM `cat /var/run/afsd.pid`?
Note that "athena.init stop" will kill AFS (from the srvd):
# Kill AFS
if [ -d /afs/athena.mit.edu ]; then
echo -n "AFS..."
kill `cat /var/run/afsd.pid`
sleep 10
/sbin/rmmod libafs
fi

Well. I don't particularly like the dependency. I don't like the idea
of the network scripts needing to worry explicitly about higher level stuff.
That should be handled manually or by something else.
I also don't see the reason you need to bother with init.d/network at all.
This is for handling on the fly addition/removal of network capability.
In the "normal" case, where we have network right at boot time, the old network
script starts just the network and when it hits runlevel 3 or 5 stuff, it
does athena.init. When shutting down, the K scripts in runlevel 6 take
down athena services before taking down network.

There are install/uninstall scripts which can be incorporated into RPMs.
We already do this sort of thing for the (old) athena-rc package.

I would actually like it better if they had to run "athena.init start"
manually after enabling network (and the reverse when disabling). If this
is handled by a PCMCIA (or PPP) script, then it would not be unreasonable
to put the commands in that script.
