For principle understand on how the runlevels are proper configured have
a look at "chkconfig". Also take one init script for an example, like
"head -8 /etc/init.d/network" and watch out for the header lines,
especially "chkconfig:"

To reconfigure start and stop hooks edit the init script chkconfig: line
and run chkconfig with the proper parameters.
