The scripts are in /etc/runlevels. There are directories called 'default',
'nonetwork' and the like. The concept is identical to the /etc/rc.d (SVR4)
stuff. Just the names are changed. Oddly, the names of the scripts are not
prefixed with a number. And, the scripts contain bash functions like
'start', which get called in the appropriate context, instead of the case
statement in the/etc/rc.d system. They get run by /sbin/runscripts.sh. Maybe
there is a clue to how ordering is done there. Surely is it not strictly
alphabetic. But I don't know.
