  The scripts are actually run by /etc/init.d/rcS, so you can check there how it 
is done. Basically it will execute everything that starts with S in shell sort 
order.


  To debug things, the easiest thing to do is to change the shebang into
#! /bin/sh -x
which will print each command on the console before it is executed. Of course, 
that's assuming you have a console, otherwise things are more difficult to debug...
