But the numbers aren't `used up'; all they do is impose an order on the
execution of scripts at that run-level. For starting the run-level, the
S... scripts are run, for stopping it, the K... ones are run, in alphabetical
order. So S45abc will run before S45xyz but both will run before S46...
-- that is all that the numbers do. They only matter if things must be done
in a certain order.
(See the controlling scripts rc and rcS in /etc/init.d.)
