NAME

bcheckrc − system initialization procedures

SYNOPSIS

/etc/bcheckrc

DESCRIPTION

These shell procedures are executed via entries in /etc/inittab by init(1M) whenever the system is booted (or rebooted).

First, the bcheckrc procedure checks the status of the root file system.  If the root file system is found to be bad, bcheckrc repairs it. 

Then, it clears the mounted file system table, /etc/mnttab, and puts the entry for the root file system into the mount table. 

After these two procedures have executed, init checks for the initdefault value in /etc/inittab.  This tells init in which run level to place the system.  Since initdefault is initially set to 2, the system will be placed in the multi-user state via the /etc/rc2 procedure. 

Also, these shell procedures may be used for several run-level states.
