(It's a 7.0 Red Hat).
It does runcmd "Sending all processes the KILL signal..." /sbin/killall5 -9 before [ -n "$SWAPS" ] && runcmd "Turning off swap: " swapoff $SWAPS in /etc/rc6.d/S01reboot and I've seen the "Sending all processes the KILL signal..." message appear before the memory freeing loop starts rolling.
