It's been a while since I looked at the scripts, but if I remember
correctly, if the new runlevel wants to run a service that is already
running in the current runlevel, that service is not stopped or restarted.
dperkins is correct. It stops all of the scripts with a K on the
front, then starts all the scripts with a S on the front. [and
complains when you have a script in one runlevel, that is missing in
another].
