I have a system as follows :

[neeraj@anamika rc.d]$ ls
init.d      rc.local    rc.sysinit  rc1.d       rc3.d       rc5.d
rc          rc.news     rc0.d       rc2.d       rc4.d       rc6.d
[neeraj@anamika rc.d]$ cd rc3.d
[neeraj@anamika rc3.d]$ ls
K20rstatd     S11portmap    S45pcmcia     S60nfs        S90xfs
K20rusersd    S15netfs      S50inet       S75keytable   S91smb
K20rwhod      S20random     S50snmpd      S80sendmail   S95innd
K87ypbind     S30syslog     S55named      S85gpm        S99linuxconf
S05apmd       S40atd        S55routed     S85httpd      S99local
S10network    S40crond      S60lpd        S85sound      S99webmin
[neeraj@anamika rc3.d]$

In the above there are many programme  having the same no like webmin, local
and linuxconf having S99 so is there any defined rule by which one decides
which has to come first or it doesnot matter.

Just want to know  how these nos are decided ?
regards
neeraj
