     RC(8)                                                       RC(8)

     NAME
          rc - boot script

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/rc

     DESCRIPTION
          Rc is the command script invoked by init(8) to control
          reboots.  During an automatic reboot, rc is invoked with the
          argument autoboot; typically this invokes `/etc/fsck -p' to
          repair minor filesystem inconsistencies.  If rc exits with a
          successful status, init proceeds to multi-user mode.

          When the system enters multi-user mode, either during an
          auto-reboot or after the single-user shell terminates, rc is
          invoked without arguments.  This usually causes it to mount
          filesystems, start daemons, clear and perform other house-
          keeping.

          If any call to rc returns a nonzero status, init reverts to
          single-user mode.

     EXAMPLES
          A typical rc script:

          date
          case $1 in
          autoboot)
               echo Autoboot:
               /etc/fsck -p || {echo "error in reboot"; exit 1}
          esac
          /etc/ldpcs /etc/pcs750.bin
          >/etc/mtab
          /etc/mount -a
          /etc/savecore /tmp/dump /dev/ra11
          /etc/swapon -a
          trap "" 1 2 3
          /etc/update
          /etc/cron &
          rm -f /tmp/*
          /usr/lib/asd/rmlocks
          date >> /usr/adm/lastboot
          /etc/accton /tmp/acct > /tmp/acct
