Sort of. Look for a directory called /etc/init.d or /etc/rc.d (or maybe
/sbin/rc.d) -- I forget which of the several competing conventions RH uses.
It will contain a bunch of scripts, roughly one for every process that
starts as boot. init runs a "master" script that in turn runs a subset of
these scripts, chosen by runlevel. Again, I forget how RH does it -- onmy
(Debian) systems), there is a separate directory for each runlevel (e.g.,
/etc/rc2.d for runlevel 2) that contains symlinks to the appropriate scripts
in /etc/init.d .
