The name of the symlink in the /etc/rc.d/rc?.d directory controls the
order. For a given run level, the K##<name> scripts are run first with
the stop option. The ## value determines the order in witch they run.
K00<name> will run first, then K02<name>, etc. After all the K links
are run, then the S##<name> links are run, again in numerical order.
The S##<name> links are run with the start option.
A couple of things to keep in mind:
S01<name> through S19<name> will run before S1<name>.
Links that do not start with K or S are ignored.
To temporarily disable a link, changing the first letter to lower case
works well - restoring the link is easy then.
