itruns(8)itruns(8)NAMEitruns - set up files for use by the it command
SYNOPSIS
/sbin/itruns file [file...] in run-state [, file [file...] in run-
state] [,...]
DESCRIPTION
The itruns program sets up scripts to be run by it(8). (These programs
are typically used within system configuration and installation
scripts.) The itruns command searches for /sbin/it.d/bin/file. If
itruns finds the file, it creates one or more symbolic links from
/sbin/it.d/run-state.d/file to /sbin/it.d/bin/file.
The run-state argument can be a single run state, or it can be two run
states separated by either the word or or the word and. If two run
states are specified with the or keyword, itruns checks for (and cre‐
ates, if necessary) a directory whose name combines both run states and
places a link in that directory so that the file will be executed when
the it program detects either state. You can collapse two or-separated
states into a single expression; for example, 2 or 3 can be expressed
as 23. If the and keyword is used, itruns checks for (and creates, if
necessary) two separate directories and places a link in each of them
so that either state triggers execution of the file independently of
the other state.
If two or more files are specified for a single run-state argument,
links are created for all of the files as indicated by the run-state
argument.
If two or more combinations of files and run states are specified as
comma-separated expressions, itruns treats each combination individu‐
ally.
RESTRICTIONS
The itruns command must be executed from the root directory (/). The
command finds only files that are located in the /sbin/it.d/bin direc‐
tory.
EXAMPLES
This example sets up the doconfig script to be run when the system is
booted to run state 2: itruns doconfig in 2 Either of the command lines
in this example sets up the doconfig and getdate scripts to be run when
the system is booted to run state 2 or to run state 3: itruns doconfig
getdate in 2 or 3 itruns doconfig getdate in 23 This example sets up
the doconfig script to be run when the system is booted to run state 2
and again when the system comes to run state 3, the getdate script to
be run only in run state 2, and the getsysname script to be run only in
run state 3: itruns doconfig in 2 and 3, getdate in 2, getsysname in 3
