Can somebody please tell me the difference between the files in /etc/rc2.d and those in /etc/init.d? I am asking because on one system, I got a sysedge file S99.sysedge under /etc/rc2.d and it has a soft link to the /etc/init.d/sysedge.
It would be my understanding that the one under /etc/rc2.d would be used at the system reboot and the one under /etc/init.d would be to allow us to manually stop and start sysedge. Please shed more lights on this for me
/etc/init.d is a convenient repository directory. It is not used by init which only scans the rc*.d directories for start and stop scripts. These ones are often soft links to init.d but aren't required to be.
