TCP(ADMN) UNIX System V
Name
/etc/tcp - TCP start/stop script
Syntax
/etc/tcp start
/etc/tcp stop
Description
/etc/tcp is used to start or stop the STREAMS TCP software.
TCP will start automatically at system startup time if
/etc/rc.d/6/name contains a script including the command
/etc/tcp start. TCP does not stop automatically at system
shutdown time. The command /etc/tcp stop will stop TCP.
See init(M) for further information.
/etc/tcp must be customized for a particular installation
before it can be used. The following items must be edited:
Domain name The environment variable DOMAIN must
be set to the name of your domain.
Interface configuration
ifconfig commands must be used to set
the internet address (and any other
desired options) for each of your
interfaces. The ifconfig line for
the loopback interface should not
require modification. See
ifconfig(ADMN) for further
information.
The following items may need to be edited:
PATH The supplied path may require
modification if commands run by
/etc/tcp are in other directories.
PROCS The PROCS variable contains a space-
separated list of names of processes
to kill when executing the stop
function. If additional daemons are
used, their names can be added to
this list.
Network initialization Certain network hardware may require
the execution of an initialization
command before use. Any such
commands should be included in this
section.
Daemons The standard internetworking daemons
are started at this point. Any
additional daemons or other commands
may be included in this section. Any
of the standard daemons that are not
desired may be removed or commented
out.
