Well, the man page says that control/t is executed before d or x on
either 'down' or 'exit'. From http://smarden.sunsite.dk/runit/runsv.8.html:

"On command d first service/control/t is checked, and then
service/control/d. On command x first service/control/t is checked, and
then service/control/x."
