startup question



I'm trying to do some boot cycle testing, is it correct to just create a S*
script in /etc/rc3.d and put calls to my program in that?
is: i created an S99zzReset script in rc3.d so it would be the very last
one to get executed in run level 3 (i am only going to level 3 not to 4 or
5)
Is there anything special i need to do there? before i call my Reset test
program? do i treat it as "just another shell script"?
Thanks
Eric
