K means, in this particular case for run level five, if the service is running kill it and and S the opposite start it. The numbers are the priority/order in which they are run.
You've a few turned on you could probably turn off.
Ok cool so the rc.d directory sets what services start at runlevel 5. The K before the service kills the service whilst the s means to start a service.
So I can rename each service like K35vncserver to S35vncserver to start the service on runlevel 5? For Red Hat 9.
Sweet! Learned something I wanted to then. Thanks.
I wouldn't recommend changing them by hand - use the chkconfig command to do it for you and keep it all straight or use the services panel in gnome or KDE equivalent if thats what your using.

Hope the weather is as nice where you are as it is in Ayrshire today!
Yup the sun has shown up here for the day, probably just a fleeting visit as usual - so back to the garden....
Cool. I would rather like to know everything from the command line instead of using a GUI. I would like a strong knowledge of Linux/Unix for future career opportunities so I want to use everything from the command prompt.
Thanks for the info. I will have a play and see what I can do!
