never had a problem with typing mv, though admittedly i should
be using chkconfig.  I suspect chkconfig just moves the S to K
though.  Dont have a problem with locating the runlevel either.

I stand corrected.  what appears to happen is that for example,
a shutdown is really a change in runlevel to 0....and
most all services in /etc/rc.d/rc0.d are prefixed with K.
All of them but shutdown scripts like Sxxkillall.  So thats
how that works.

so, for example apache starts at 
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/Sxxhttpd at normal runlevel
and stopped with /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/Kxxhttpd.
