I've been playing around with Slackware some more, and the way it handles startup/shutdown is very different from the way I'm used to it in Redhat. In Redhat, you create scripts and put them in init.d, and then link to those scripts in the appropriate rc#.d directory. In Slack, you put the script in rc.d, and edit a rc.# configuration file and call it from there. I know Slackware has a reputation for being standard-Unix-like, whereas Redhat has a reputation for doing this its own way. I was wondering, however, what really is the standard way of handling startup/shutdown, as most of the documentation I've been exposed to assumes the Redhat method?
