	Not that simple or effective when you need to reset the
links which are not defaults. You'll have to save the original non-
default runlevels and two-digit sequence code used by init to
decide which order to run the scripts in.
	When defaults is used the service starts in runlevels 2345
and stops in 016 and the links will have sequence code 20.
	You will need to explicitly specify anything that does not
have these default values.
