  NAME

    brc, bcheckrc - System initialization procedures

  SYNOPSIS

    /etc/brc

    /etc/bcheckrc

  DESCRIPTION

    These shell procedures are executed with entries in /etc/inittab by init
    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, the brc procedure 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 multiuser state with the /etc/rc2 procedure.

  NOTES

    These scripts should only be invoked by init.

    These shell procedures may be used for several run-level states.

  FILES

    /etc/inittab

    /etc/mnttab

  CAUTIONS

    The bcheckrc should always be executed before brc.
