    grep a sh_history

    korn shell script in rc*.d

    yep that would work, but an OS upgrade might re-install the original script. Personally, I would leave the rc3 as is, and get the S?? startup script call the korn shell script. BTW, the S?? should be a sym link to the script in /etc/init.d (but you probably already knew that).
