wrong, rcS.d is run once at boot, regardless of what runlevel your
entering.  single AND multiuser mode.  (unless you enter single user
mode with the -b switch at boot, this stops ALL initscripts from
running which is more in line with BSD single user mode.)

modifying S is useful if you have a script that needs to run at boot,
but not at runlevel change.
