It will if the script in /etc/init.d has the appropriate comments.  From
/etc/init.d/sshd:

        # chkconfig: 2345 55 25
        # description: OpenSSH server daemon

If Dave's script doesn't have the comments, or if he wants to override the
levels listed in the comments, then he needs the --level option.
