really?  AFAIK there are different "start" and "stop" numbers in the
scripts (something may start at 20, but stop at 90), so the s/S/K/
should *not* be (again, AFAIK) all that chkconfig does.

Each script in /etc/init.d should have a "chkconfig" comment line
(actually a whole header of stuff) that includes those numbers.
