Note that the expectation of the System V init system is
that every service have either an S or a K symlink in each
runlevel. If there is no symlink for a service in a particular
runlevel then the behavior of sysv's invoke-rc.d is undefined
for that service in that runlevel. Methods of shutting off
services must take that into account.
Suppose you have service foo that is S20 in runlevel 2 and
you want to shut it off. You should do something like:
/etc/rc2.d/$ mv S20foo K80foo_originallyS20
As someone has already pointed out, update-rc.d is intended for
use by maintainer scripts. It allows maintainer scripts to
work independently of which init system is in use, whether it
is the System V init system, file-rc or some other. The
local administrator need not use update-rc.d to change sysv
symlinks.
