- 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
