Understanding System Vish startup scripts

I'm trying to get a clear picture of how startup scripts are executed during
bootup. When run-level N is entered, the scripts in /rcN.d are executed.
I understand that the S* scripts are executed in numerical order during bootup.

What I don't understand is if the K* scripts are executed during bootup?
Are the K* scripts only executed when shutting down or switching to a lower run level? Smilie

Thanks
