To amplify slightly:
- /etc/init.d is where startup scripts "live".
- The rc?.d directories are where specific init levels find their
kill and start scripts, which are linked to a script in /etc/init.d
Eg:
/etc/rc0.d
/etc/rc1.d
/etc/rc2.d
/etc/rc3.d
/etc/rc4.d
/etc/rc5.d
/etc/rc6.d
/etc/rcS.d
update-rc.d is one mechanism for updating rc files.
