Lower case -s causes s6-svscan to execute a script on receipt of:
TERM, INT, HUP, QUIT, USR1, USR2. If the script doesn't exist, nothing
happens. Most likely, you need to find which signal the shutdown
command sends, and write a handler script in .s6-svscan to do
something with it.
This is documented here:
