Unfortunately, the mapping is one way - the symlinks know which file 
they are pointing to, but the original file does not know which 
symlinks it has, only the number. You'll have to look for all the 
files yourself. Any information you have about their location 
(for example, if they are all in the /etc directory) will speed up 
your search a lot. Use the -lname option with find to locate them:

find /etc -lname "/etc/init.d/xxx" 2>/dev/null
