Re: [PLUG] "services" under Linux

The Starting and Killing also happens when runlevels are changed. In fact, a shutdown is a switch to runlevel 0 and a reboot is a switch to runlevel 6. For example, if you're in runlevel three and change to runlevel five (init 5) then... Hey, I'm not sure if the K's in rc3.d are killed, then the S's in rc5.d are started or what. Hmm. OK, how does this work?

The S* scripts and also K* scripts tell init the order in which to initiate
a particular service when the system is brought up (S*) or killed at
shutdown (K*). The "services" without S* scripts are not started.
