NAME
       rc,  rc.boot,  rc.local,	 rc.net	 -  command script for auto-reboot and
       daemons

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/rc
       /etc/rc.boot
       /etc/rc.local
       /etc/rc.net

DESCRIPTION
       Rc is the command  script  which	 controls  the	automatic  reboot  and
       rc.local	 is  the script holding commands which are pertinent only to a
       specific site.  rc.net is the command script that configures all	 known
       network	interfaces  according  to  the	rules  contained  in etciftab.
       rc.boot is a command script that contains commands that need to be  run
       early on (e.g. before single-user mode is entered).

       The  processing	of  rc	script	can be suppressed by specifying the -s
       option on the boot command line.

       The processing of the rc.boot script can be  suppressed	by  specifying
       the -b option on the boot command line.

       When  an	 automatic  reboot  is in progress, rc and rc.boot are invoked
       with the argument autoboot and run a fsck with option -p	 to  ``preen''
       all  the	 disks of minor inconsistencies resulting from the last system
       shutdown and to check for serious inconsistencies caused by hardware or
       software	 failure.   If	this  auto-check and repair succeeds, then the
       second part of rc is run.

       The second part of rc, which is run after a  auto-reboot	 succeeds  and
       also  if	 rc  is	 invoked  when	a  single  user	 shell terminates (see
       init(8)), starts all the daemons on the system, preserves editor	 files
       and clears the scratch directory /tmp.  Rc.local is executed after most
       of the daemons are started.  Normally, the first commands placed in the
       rc.local file define the machine's name, using hostname(1).  The latter
       command is included in the rc.local file because the directory in which
       core dumps are saved is usually site specific.
