Failover Scripts

I need to run a script before a service is failed.
If I just stop the service it leaves a couple of processes running - no problem if the server is shut down, but if I just want to manually failover the process, I can't fail it back as the child processes are still holding open ports.
I have a shutdown script - but does clustering support the calling of this before initiating a failure (if it can) - much like the dependancies before starting a service but in reverse?
