K means things to stop

S means things to start


if you want a service not to run you change the script in your init.d 
dir to not be executable.

ie. in SyS-V startup scripts, when you startup your comp, it has a 
script, which gets the runlevel from inittab, uses this directory 
/etc/rc.d/rc0.d for runlevel 0, starting all the S links (in order of 
the number) and stoping all the K ones - S takes priority over K.. your 
s links point to a relevent script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ usually, which 
the sysv script says, if the link starts with an S run the script with a 
start argument, if it starts with a K use a stop argument.

if the script your linking to is non executable, then it's not going to run.

that right everyone?
