Actually `update-rc.d' does _updating_ of the initscript runtime levels; it pretty much just automates the process of symlinking/unlinking the initscript in /etc/init.d to the corresponding /etc/rc*.d directories. The preferred alternative way to start or stop initscripts is via `invoke-rc.d': # invoke-rc.d service-name start|stop|restart|force-reload It is `preferred' because this is the mechanism used by Debian packages upon running the maintainer scripts...
