Title:	Linux: Files in /etc/rc*.d directories (KB)
Summary:	Runlevels are a concept from UNIX System V used by the init;daemon or other system initialisation system to define modes of system operation.;;Eight runlevels are permitted, the first seven are numbered 0-6 and the eighth is named S or s;(both are permitted).;;Services and other system components are said to exist in one or more runlevels. When switching from;one runlevel to another, the services that should not exist in the new runlevel are stopped and the;services that only exist in the new runlevel are started.;;This is performed by the /etc/init.d/rc script executed on a change of runlevel (by jobs run on the;runlevel event in the Upstart system). This script examines symlinks in the /etc/rc?.d directories,;symlinks beginning K are services to be stopped and symlinks beginning S are services to be started.;;Note: This script only stores information for other Policy Controls.
