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 root(3)), 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 $terminal these scripts
start appropriate network processes and administrative dae-
mons and enable swapping. Cpurc sets /env/boottime to the
time cpurc was executed and /env/NPROC to a value suitable
for parallel compilation in mk(1).
If an executable file /bin/termrc.local exists, termrc will
execute it. If an executable file /cfg/$sysname/termrc
exists for the machine named $sysname, termrc will execute
it next. Automatic initialization of the mouse and VGA on a
PC is suppressed, if the user is none. These files should
be edited by local installations to reflect the configura-
tion of their systems.
On CPU servers, read `cpurc' for `termrc' in the previous
paragraph.
