     CPURC(8)                                                 CPURC(8)

     NAME
          cpurc, termrc - boot script

     SYNOPSIS
          cpurc

          termrc

     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).

          These files should be edited by local installations to
          reflect the configuration of their systems.  If an exe-
          cutable file /sys/lib/sysconfig/termrc/$sysname exists for
          the machine named $sysname, termrc will execute it as its
          last act.  This action is suppressed, as is automatic ini-
          tialization of the mouse and VGA on a PC, if the user is
          none.

     FILES
