Shutdown script not running

I configured a Minecraft server to run at startup inside a screen session. I'm on an EC2 AWS Instance.

I would like to stop it at shutdown, so I created the following file inside /etc/init.d

/usr/bin/logger ServerShutdownScript_START
/usr/bin/screen -S minecraft -X stuff "`echo -ne "stopr"`"
sleep 10s
/usr/bin/logger ServerShutdownScript_STOP

and symlinked it inside /etc/rc0.d/ with

sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/ServerShutdownScript /etc/rc0.d/K01ServerShutdownScript

the problem is, the script is not running nor logging to /var/log/messages with the logger command.

The Minecraft Server logs shows it being abruptly stopped or not saving the world before shutting down.

How can I make the script run and wait for the MC Server to gracefully stop?

PS: The script runs fine if I manually run it as root
