No need to define a new runlevel, just use update-rc.d. Debian sets up runlevels 2-5 as identical to each other with the expectation that users who want to use them for process/daemon control will customize the runlevels to their personal taste. (Note: Those Red Hat guys probably told you that the default runlevel is 5, but Debian's default is 2.) -- "Two words: Windows survives." - Craig Mundie, Microsoft senior strategist "So does syphillis.
