in one word:
init.This process always has pid of 1 and controls (spawns) all other processes in your unix according to the rules in
/etc/init.d.init is usually called with a number as an argument, e.g.
init 3This will make it run the contents of therc3.dfolder.For more information: Wikipedia article for init.
Edit: Forgot to mention, what actually controls what rc level you start off in is your bootloader.
