NAME
rc - command script controlling MachTen initialization
SYNOPSIS
/etc/rc
DESCRIPTION
Rc is the command script which controls MachTen
initialization.
During initialization, rc is
invoked by the init(1) process with
the argument autoboot.
Typically rc starts all the
daemons on the system, preserves editor
files and clears the scratch directory /tmp. Other commands
placed
in the rc file define the machine’s name and id, using
hostname(1),
and hostid(1), and configure all of the network interfaces,
using
ifconfig(8).
Under MachTen, the interfaces
configured and daemons launched by rc
are controlled by settings in the MachTen Control Panel and
by
variables defined in /etc/rc.conf, making direct
modification of
the rc file unnecessary.
