How program start

Hello:
I'd like to ask what is a good document from which to learn about how software
is started on Ubuntu.
Here are the kinds of things I'm wondering and would like to read more to
understand.
I have been told that placing a line in rcS like
exec filename.sh
will cause that shell script to be executed. This seems to work.
However, I have created such scripts in /etc/init.d and then found them linked
into a different directory in a filename that contains a number that seems to
suggest the order in which that file would execute. However, I have never
executed a link command or assigned a number in some other way. How did this
link get created? There seems to be some sort of automated trigger I don't
understand.
If I've got such a numbered file in the link directory, how do I change that
number in case I wish this program executed earlier or later in the execution
sequence?
Any pointers to doc or specific information will be appreciated. The more basic
the better <smile>.
Thanks.
Chris
