No - the shutdown link (K<number><name> is created based on the
<endpriority> number. The startup link (S<number><name>) is created
based on the <startpriority>. While an <endpriority> of
100-<startpriority> is recommended, it is not a fixed rule. This is
to allow flexibility when you need to stop a process in a different
order then starting it. This is all well documented in the
sysvinitfiles file in the initscripts documentation.
(/usr/share/doc/initscripts-8.45.7 on this system.)
You might also want to read the chkconfig man page. Here is what it
has to say about it:
RUNLEVEL FILES
Each service which should be manageable by chkconfig needs two or
more commented lines added to its init.d script. The first line
tells chkconfig what runlevels the service should be started in by
default, as well as the start and stop priority levels. If the
service should not, by default, be started in any runlevels, a -
should be used in place of the runlevels list. The second line
contains a description for the service, and may be extended across
multiple lines with backslash continuation.
For example, random.init has these three lines:
# chkconfig: 2345 20 80
# description: Saves and restores system entropy pool for \
# higher quality random number generation.
This says that the random script should be started in levels
2, 3, 4, and 5, that its start priority should be 20, and
that its stop priority should be 80. You should be able to
figure out what the description says; the \ causes the line
to be continued. The extra space in front of the line is
ignored.
