brc(1M)                                                   brc(1M)



     NAME
          brc, bcheckrc,  macsysinitrc,  rc,  sysinitrc,  powerfail  -
          system initialization shell scripts

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/brc

          /etc/bcheckrc

          /etc/macsysinitrc

          /etc/powerfail

          /etc/rc

          /etc/sysinitrc

     DESCRIPTION
          init executes sysinitrc, macsysinitrc, brc, bcheckrc, and rc
          via entries in /etc/inittab.  sysinitrc is executed before
          init starts up its initial level.  The other scripts are ex-
          ecuted when the system is changed out of single user mode.
          powerfail executes whenever a system power failure is
          detected.

          brc loads any programmable microprocessors with their ap-
          propriate scripts.

          bcheckrc performs consistency checks to prepare the system
          for multiuser mode.  It prompts you to check the file sys-
          tems with fsck(1M).

          rc starts system daemons before the terminal lines are en-
          abled for multiuser mode.  In addition, it mounts file sys-
          tems and activates accounting, error logging, system activi-
          ty logging, and the Remote Job Entry (RJE) system.

          sysinitrc performs various system initialization tasks, in-
          cluding setting the internal clock, checking the root file
          system, setting host and domain names, and running autocon-
          figuration.

          macsysinitrc launches StartMonitor and CommandShell to pro-
          vide a front end for the A/UX(Reg.) boot process on the
          Macintosh(Reg.) computer while the system initialization
          scripts are executed.  Before doing so, macsysinitrc exe-
          cutes /etc/keyset, which needs to be executed before the Ma-
          cintosh environment is active.

          powerfail is invoked when the system detects a power
          failure.  It performs any last-minute activities as desired
          before powering down.
