BRC(1M)             RISC/os Reference Manual              BRC(1M)



NAME
     brc, bcheckrc - system initialization procedures

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/brc

     /etc/bcheckrc

DESCRIPTION
     These shell procedures are executed via entries in
     /etc/inittab by init(1M) whenever the system is booted (or
     rebooted).

     First, the bcheckrc procedure checks the status of the root
     file system.  If the root file system is found to be bad,
     bcheckrc repairs it.

     Then, the brc procedure clears the mounted file system
     table, /etc/mnttab and puts the entry for the root file sys-
     tem into the mount table.

     After these two procedures have executed, init checks for
     the initdefault value in /etc/inittab.  This tells init in
     which run level to place the system.  Since initdefault is
     initially set to 2, the system will be placed in the multi-
     user state via the /etc/rc2 procedure.

     Note that bcheckrc should always be executed before brc.
     Also, these shell procedures may be used for several run-
     level states.
