It's a Red Hat term. Anything in /etc/init.d is called a service, and
can be started/stopped etc with the "service" command. You can check
which services should be running at any given run level with ntsysv,
or check which run levels a given service is configured to run at with
chkconfig. I assume there's some equivalent in the Debian world.

For the purposes of this discussion, "ps auxww | grep cpuspeed" should
tell you if that's the problem.
