How about renaming S20apache to NOS20apache? This way, you can see at a glance which scripts are start scripts, which are kill scripts, and which are scripts that have been disabled by the sysadmin, as opposed to wondering which of the K scripts were made that way by "the system' and which were made that way by the sysadmin.The Unix Way [to disable automatic starting of init scripts] is to rename S20apache to K20apache. That way, you can see what's been explicitly turned off, and you'll know that if it's not in /etc/rc2.d/ then it hasn't been installed. Remeber to also rename /etc/rc6.d/K??apache !!!
It also might save a few nano-seconds during boot-up as the NO scripts don't have to be parsed as do the K scripts.
