Fedora 16 has replaced the legacy "System V" style init scripts -- which let you run scripts at startup and shutdown via scripts in /etc/rc.d -- with systemd. You can create a systemd service file that runs a shell script when it starts and stops, much like a traditional init script. Put something like the following in /lib/systemd/system/runonshutdown.service:

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/path/to/myscript start
ExecStop=/path/to/myscript stop
TimeoutSec=0
RemainAfterExit=yes

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

With this in place, you can then run:

# chkconfig runonshutdown on
ln -s '/lib/systemd/system/runonshutdown.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/runonshutdown.service'

When your system boots, it will run /path/to/myscript start, and when your system shuts down, it will run /path/to/myscript stop.

For more information, read the systemd.service(5) man page.
