Scripts with an S are started when entering run-level x. Those with a K
are killed upon entering run-level x. (Starting/killing is handled by
sending either start or stop as the argument to the script.)
For example, most systems default to run-level 2, so at boot time all
scripts in /etc/rc2.d that start with 'S' are executed in lexographical
order, so S001startmefirst gets executed before S999startmelast.
