rc2.d file execution order

[DonDavisFCB]

I know the Ks run first and then the Ss because of alphabetical order.

What effect does the number have on the order of execution?
Does S99.... run before or after S98....
Does K99.... run before or after K98....

Is the execution (sort) order reversed for Ks and Ss

Where do un-numbered commands fit?
I have Ssshd & Ksshd in this directory too.
Do they run before or after numbered commands?

The K scripts are run first, and should take a "stop" argument. The S scripts are run next, and should take a "start" argument.

Within their respective groups, they run in the default collation order for your locale.

Take a look at [tt]/etc/rc.d/rc[/tt] and [tt]/etc/rc.d/samples/README.txt[/tt] for more information.
