• Linux uses SVR4 startup: /etc/rc.d
  • control shell scripts go in /etc/rc.d/init.d
  • each runlevel gets its own directory
  • All S files are started on entering a runlevel
  • All K files are stopped (killed) on entering a runlevel
  • S/K files are usually symbolic links to the actual startup scripts
  • init does some argument replacement...see whiteboard
  • S/K files can be manually manipulated with ln or rm
