Well, as I look at your links, I see none to start your script at 
runlevel 3, i.e. no S01myTest under rc3.d .... maybe I'm missing 
something ....

The init process only runs K* under runlevel 4 (rc4.d) when exiting 
runlevel 4, then runs all of the S* stuff under the new runlevel. $0.02, 
no more, no less ....
