use the source Luke.

from rc.d/rc

if [ -d /etc/rc$runlevel.d ]; then
	# First, run the KILL scripts.
	for i in /etc/rc$runlevel.d/K*; do
		# Check if the script is there.
		[ ! -f $i ] && continue

		# Don't run [KS]??foo.{rpmsave,rpmorig} scripts
		[ "${i%.rpmsave}" != "${i}" ] && continue
		[ "${i%.rpmorig}" != "${i}" ] && continue
		[ "${i%.rpmnew}" != "${i}" ] && continue

		# Check if the subsystem is already up.
		subsys=${i#/etc/rc$runlevel.d/K??}
		[ ! -f /var/lock/subsys/$subsys ] && \
		    [ ! -f /var/lock/subsys/${subsys}.init ] && continue

		# Bring the subsystem down.
		if egrep -q "(killproc |action )" $i ; then
			$i stop
		else
			action $"Stopping $subsys: " $i stop
		fi
	done


Looks like it looks in /var/lock/subsys/ for a file named $subsys or
${subsys}.init where $subsys is the name of the Kill script minus the
path to the script and the K??

I ad not noticed the confirm mode either that is also in the script.  I
have wondered where the "Entering non-interactive startup" messages came
from and how to affect the behavior.

Good catch brian.
