     CPURC(8)                                                 CPURC(8)

     NAME
          cpurc, cpurc.local, termrc, termrc.local - boot scripts

     SYNOPSIS
          cpurc
          cpurc.local

          termrc
          termrc.local

     DESCRIPTION
          After the kernel boots, it execs /boot (see boot(8)), which
          in turn execs /$cputype/init.  Init(8) sets the $service
          environment variable to cpu or terminal, and then invokes
          the appropriate rc script to bring the system up.

          Based on the values of $sysname and $terminal these scripts
          start appropriate network processes and administrative dae-
          mons and enable swapping.  Termrc sets /env/NPROC to a value
          suitable for parallel compilation in mk(1).

          If an executable file /bin/termrc.local exists, termrc will
          execute it.  If an executable file /cfg/$sysname/termrc
          exists for the machine named $sysname, termrc will execute
          it next.  These files should be edited by local installa-
          tions to reflect the configuration of their systems.

          On CPU servers, read `cpurc' for `termrc' in the previous
          paragraph.
