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

startup

startup(7)						 Miscellaneous Information Manual						startup(7)

NAME

       startup - event signalling system startup

SYNOPSIS

       startup [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  startup event is generated by the Upstart init(8) daemon after it has completed its own initialisation and is the signal that the rest
       of the system may be started.

       Typically this will involve checking and mounting the partitions and drives that form the filesystem, loading drivers for connected devices
       and starting the X windowing system or other login environment.

       In the default Upstart configuration, the primary task run on the startup event is the /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf job responsible for gener-
       ating the System V compatible runlevel(7) event.  See that page for a more detailed explanation of this process.

       Paradoxically there is currently no corresponding Upstart-native event signifying that the system is to be shutdown, only the System V com-
       patible runlevel 0 and runlevel 6 events provide this functionality.

EXAMPLE

       A service with no other dependencies run on startup might use:

	      start on startup

       runlevel(7) init(8)
