[Voyage-linux] rcS.d or rc2.d. init script questions

[Jimmy Oliver]

Hello everyone,

I have gotten 0.2 installed on my wrap board and it seems to be  
working fine.  I do have a question about the Debian style init  
structure.  inittab shows the default runlevel to be 2.  So what is  
this rcS.d directory then?  There are startup scripts (links) there,  
that are not being started.

Example:  I installed shorewall via apt-get.  The deb creates a link  
in rcS.d (S40shorewall).  I edited /etc/defaults/shorewall to enable  
shorewall on start up.  Upon reboot, shorewall in not started.  I  
created a link in rc2.d (S40shorewall) and upon reboot, shorewall was  
started.

Based on this, it seems as though rcS.d is not being processed.  Is  
this correct?  What is the point of that directory?

Thanks,
-Jimmy
