why my script in /etc/init.d with K symbolic link in rc0.d and rc6.d and S symbolic link in rc5.d is not working on shutdown?

I'm writing a script which I want to run before every shutdown of my ubuntu system. I have placed my script named myscript inside /etc/init.d folder and then created symbolic links in rc0.d and rc6.d as K01myscript and S01myscript in rc5.d. But the problem is that the script is not running at all.

My Script @paxdiablo -

#!/bin/sh

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
LOGPATH=/home/user/Documents
lockfile=/var/lock/subsys/decomission
now=$(date +'%T')

start() {
    touch $lockfile
    echo "[$now] System startup" >> $LOGPATH/test.log
}

stop() {
    echo "[$now] System shutdown" >> $LOGPATH/test.log
    rm -f $lockfile
}

status() {
    echo "[$now] Hi, you're checking status" >> $LOGPATH/test.log
}

case "$1" in
  start)
      start
      ;;
  stop)
      stop
      ;;
  restart)
      $0 stop
      $0 start
      ;;
  status)
      status
      ;;
  *)
      ## If no parameters are given, print which are avaiable.
      echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status}"
      exit 1
      ;;
esac

This question is old but I was working on these lines today, so just wanted to check, did you add the script/service to run under init. You need to check the output of chkconfig --list I guess. If it's not listed then it's not configured to execute by the init system. For example:

[testfolk@jomohost ~]$  sudo chkconfig --list|grep myscript
myscript             0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:off    5:on    6:off

At the beginning of the script you must set the PATH, for example:

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
