I just have a simple question but scouring the search engines I have not found any explanation of what the -- (hyphen) in the chkconfig run levelchkconfig runlevel actually stands for within the init script file. 

For example in /etc/init.d/mysqld/etc/init.d/mysqld the first few lines are like this:

#!/bin/bash
#
# mysqld        This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
#               the MySQL subsystem (mysqld).
#
# chkconfig: - 64 36

If anyone could provide me a link explaining this that would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

What does the hyphen mean in chkconfig run level in an /etc/init.d script?

Removed "Edit", such comments are not needed here.
