[TriLUG] rc.X -- how do the real sysadmins do it?

[John Turner]

On some systems  it is common to have all the scripts in /etc/init.d 
and just have links in /etc/rc?.d. So to remove something just remove 
the link in /etc/rc?.d, but not the original in /etc/init.d. This give 
you the ability to start/stop manually but not when changing run 
levels.
