brc(1M)                                                   brc(1M)



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

SYNOPSIS
     brc

     bcheckrc

     macsysinitrc

     powerfail

     rc

     sysinitrc

DESCRIPTION
     brc, bcheckrc, macsysinitrc, sysinitrc, and rc are executed
     by the init command by means of entries in /etc/inittab.
     The system runs sysinitrc before init starts up its initial
     level.  The system runs the other scripts when you bring the
     system out of single-user mode.  The system runs powerfail
     whenever it detects a system power failure.

     brc loads any programmable microprocessors with their
     appropriate scripts.

     bcheckrc performs consistency checks to prepare the system
     for multi-user mode.  This script prompts you to check the
     file systems with fsck(1M).

     macsysinitrc launches StartMonitor and CommandShell to
     provide a front end for the A/UX boot process on the
     Macintosh computer while the system initialization scripts
     are running.

     rc starts system daemons before the terminal lines are
     enabled for multi-user mode.  In addition, rc mounts file
     systems and activates accounting, error logging, system
     activity logging, and the Remote Job Entry (RJE) system.

     sysinitrc performs various system initialization tasks,
     including setting the internal clock, checking the root file
     system, setting host and domain names, and running
     autoconfiguration.

     powerfail is run by the system when it detects a power
     failure.  This script performs any last-minute activities
     that you request before powering down.
