 <para>There are a number of directories under /etc that look like like rc?.d

-at one of 
-them (after this chapter is finished, right now there's nothing
-there yet). There are a number of symbolic links. Some begin with an K, 
-the others begin with an S, and all of them have three numbers following 
-the initial letter. The K means to stop (kill) a service, and the S means 
-to start a service. The numbers determine the order in which the scripts 
-are run, from 000 to 999; the lower the number the sooner it gets
-executed. When init switches to another runlevel, the appropriate 
-services get killed and others get started.</para>

 <para>The real scripts are in /etc/init.d. They do all the work, and the
-symlinks all point to them. Killing links and starting 
-links point to the same script in /etc/init.d. That's because the scripts

 the stop argument. When a S link is encountered, the appropriate script

+<para>There is one exception. Links that start with an S in the
