Here if you can tell who is responsible for bringing the daemons in /etc/init.d
i.e. what transfers control to daemons in /etc/init.d/ (at what ever run level)
I want to know even before any daemon defined in /etc/init.d/ comes to picture
what is that script or process which transfers controls to to the
daemons in /etc/init.d/

Here I was just curious to know where does bash.bashrc comes to picture.
