Startup scripts in /sbin/init.d obtain configuration data from variables in the scripts located in /etc/rc.config.d
i.e. static route information is read from /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

Links in the relevant startup scripts in /sbin need to be created pointing to /sbin/init.d
i.e. /sbin/rc2.d/S89app1_start could point to /sbin/init.d/app1_start and would start when the system came up to run-level 2
