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 ?
