Hi Sanchet.
Thanks for your answer. The number in rcX.d stands for the runlevel at which
the script is executed, if I'm not totally mistaked. I.e. if you go from
runlevel 1 to runlevel 3 using "init 3". The rc3.d script is executed.
Why does the script filename have to start with 'S'?
Kind regards, Ola Theander
