The ones beginning with "S" are run at system startup, the ones beginning
with "K" are run at system shutdown.

The lower the number the earlier they are run, the higher the number
the later they are run. so, if the program run by one script depends on
another program (or its startup script) having been run previously, you
number them so the former has a higher number than the latter.
