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 daemons 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 executable 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 initialization of the mouse and VGA on a PC, if the user is none.
