NAME

rc − command script for system initialization

SYNTAX

/etc/rc

DESCRIPTION

The rc command script initializes the system when entering multi-user mode. 

The rc file is invoked when a single user shell terminates. For further information, see init(8).  The rc command file starts all of the daemons on the system, preserves editor files, and clears the temporary directory /tmp.  The rc file also mounts the file systems listed in /etc/fstab and defines the system’s hostname using hostname(1).  For further information, see fstab (5).
