S scripts:
The S scripts mean they will be started at that runlevel.
K scripts:
These scripts run when you shutdown your computer.
The numbers are just the order in which the startup and kill scripts run. So a script with a lower number will run before a scripts with a higher number. For instance you want to up your iptables before you startup the rest of your networking. And vice versa, shutdown the networking services before shutting down your iptables.
