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. -D
