$ man rc.shutdown
Up to you. I shut down almost all daemons in it. Again, you can call

your own scripts, e.g:
echo -n ' mailman'

/usr/local/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -q stop

sleep 30
echo -n ' mailgraph'

/usr/local/site/sbin/mailgraphctl stop > /dev/null
echo -n ' squid'

/usr/local/sbin/squid -k shutdown
echo -n ' dovecot'

pkill dovecot
echo -n ' apache'

apachectl stop
echo -n ' postfix'

/usr/local/site/sbin/postfixctl stop
echo -n ' viagrad'

su -m _viagrad  /usr/local/site/libexec/viagrad/viagrad stop
echo -n ' named'

rndc stop
echo '.'
