/etc/init.d is where the actual scripts reside

For each of the different run levels, i.e. boot, S(start), and 1-6
there are links in rc?.d/ directories.

Make sure and read the man page for update-rc.d

So you will put the start-up script of interest in /etc/init.d and
then estalblish the appropriate links to start or stop(kill) the
process in the appropriate rc?.d directories.

It sounds more confusing than it is.

I don't believe there is a "local" rc directory per se.
