     INITSCRIPT(ADM)                      UNIX System V



     Name
          initscript - defines environment for  programs  executed  by
          init(M)


     Description
          /etc/initscript is used to define  the  default  environment
          for  all  commands  started  by  init(M).  It is the central
          location for environment variables that must be defined  for
          a  command.  This avoids the problems inherent in hard-coded
          values for such variables as HZ and PATH.  The following  is
          the default contents of /etc/initscript:
          PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
          export PATH

          HZ=60
          export HZ

          [ -x /etc/TIMEZONE ] && . /etc/TIMEZONE

          ulimit 1000

          eval exec "$4"


     Notes
          Variables  other  than  TZ  should   not   be   defined   in
          /etc/TIMEZONE  as in previous releases; they should be moved
          to /etc/initscript.


     Value Added
          initscript is an extension of AT&T System V provided by  the
          Santa Cruz Operation.
