Not sure about other distributions, I imagine several use /etc/

More organised distributions use something like /etc/init.d/

All Linux distros are currently required to put init scripts into
/etc/init.d/, and have been for a very long time.
There's a comment to the effect that this requirement may change in
the
future, but it hasn't yet. Is this perhaps under discussion because
certain distros scream hell at Microsoft for not following standards,
but have no intentions of doing so themselves?
One could argue that the system-local boot script is not a service
init
script, but that's getting picky.
I'd gladly argue that, but this is neither the time nor the place :-)
