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 an unsuccessful status, init stops in single-user mode; oth- erwise it proceeds to multi-user. 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 /tmp, and perform other housekeeping. If this call to rc exits unsuccessfully, init reverts to single-user mode.
