RC(8)                                BSD                                 RC(8)



NAME
     rc, rc.local, rc.user - command scripts for auto-reboot and daemons

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/rc
     /etc/rc.local
     /etc/rc.user

DESCRIPTION
     The rc command script controls the automatic reboot, the rc.local script
     contains commands that are pertinent only to a specific site, and the
     rc.user script contains commands used to start Domain/OS BSD daemons,
     such as mbx_helper, netman, prsvr, and spm.

     rc is run after an auto-reboot succeeds.  rc starts the daemons on the
     system, preserves editor files, and clears the scratch directory /tmp.

     rc.local is executed immediately before any other commands. Normally, the
     first commands placed in the rc.local file define the machine's name,
     using hostname(1).

     The rc script invokes rc.user and runs it as user.none.none. To start up
     the servers listed in the rc.user file, uncomment the appropriate lines
     in that file.

NOTES
     The /etc/rc, /etc/rc.local, and /etc/rc.user files are links, which
     resolve to `node_data/etc/rc, `node_data/etc/rc.local, and
     `node_data/etc/rc.user respectively.

     The /etc/rc file is owned by root, and protected such that only root can
     write to it.
