On a Linux system, it only runs the runlevel you specify.  That would
be

S,2

for boot.  If you are already in a runlevel and you switch it runs the K* stuff
in the current level then the S* in the destination level.

rc0 is for reboot I think.  rc6 is for shutdown.  (or maybe
vice-versa).

I learned, not too long ago, that a Sun Solaris system does walk
through the runlevels until it reaches the destination level.
