Rc(4)                                                          Rc(4)


       NAME
             Rc - system startup script

       SYNOPSIS
             Rc

       DESCRIPTION
             One of the kernel configuration files, an Rc file is an
             optional file that executes when the system is booted to
             initialize an installed kernel module.  [Normally, this is a
             shell script (see sh(1).]

             When the Rc component of a module's Driver Software Package
             (DSP) is installed, idinstall(1M) stores the module's Rc file
             in /etc/conf/rc.d/module-name, where module-name is the name
             of the module being installed.  Package scripts should never
             access /etc/conf/rc.d files directly; the idinstall command
             should be used instead.

             The contents of the /etc/conf/rc.d directory are linked to
             /etc/idrc.d whenever a new configuration of the kernel is
             first booted.  On this initial reboot, and on all subsequent
             reboots, the module's Rc file is invoked upon entering init
             level 2 [see init(1M)].
