That makes sense. So if you were at runlevel 3 and you did an init4 the
scripts would be run, killing inappropriate ones and starting new ones. Not
exactly as I understood it but it makes sense once you think about it.

(by the way, what is "hth" anyway?)
both the K* and S* scripts are run when *entering* a particular
run level -- the K scripts make sure that services that are not
appropriate for the run level are killed, followed by starting
all appropriate services.
if you peruse /etc/inittab, you'll see that most of the work is
done by running the script /etc/rc.d/rc with the run level as an
argument. so check the source for /etc/rc.d/rc to see what
actually happens.
