Well, if for example your default runlevel is 5, then in the /etc/rc5.d directory (in Debian) (or /etc/rc.d/rc5/ in RedHat and RedHat-like systems), you may have a listing like this (this is just an example)
K12anacron -> /etc/init.d/anacron S02portmap -> /etc/init.d/portmap S11sshd -> /etc/init.d/sshd S43sendmail -> /etc/init.d/sendmail ...note that these are actually _not_ scripts but symbolic links to the actual scripts that reside in /etc/init.d, thus, in the above example, anacron will be killed, the portmapper started, followed by sshd and so on. The numbers XX dictate the order in which services are started/stopped.
