OK, now that I have looked all over and could not find *why*, perhaps the gurus on this list will help me understand. What circumstance are all the /etc/rc5.d/K##... processes useful? I have tried to science out scenes where this would help, but cannot find a reason to kill a process before re-launching it.
If it is launched, and you attempt to relaunch, the .pid will be there to whack the attempt. If you are shutting down a system, then rc0,rc1,rc6 are there to whack the process. While I am confident the answer will start with "as everybody already knows...", I'd still like to know why. The manuals all say what, but are rarely clear on why. As long as the can of worms is open, I don't see what informs chkconfig to put K## links into some folders and not others. Is it as simple as if it don't get a S##, it gets a K##? Insights?
