powerfail - system initialization shell scripts
SYNOPSIS
/etc/brc
/etc/bcheckrc
/etc/macsysinitrc
/etc/powerfail
/etc/rc
/etc/sysinitrc
DESCRIPTION
init executes sysinitrc, macsysinitrc, brc,
bcheckrc, and rc via entries in /etc/inittab. sysinit
rc is executed before ini t starts up its initial level. The other
scripts are executed when the system is changed out of single
user mode. powerfail executes whenever a system power
failure is detected.

brc loads any programmable microprocessors with their appropriate
scripts.
bcheckrc performs consistency checks to prepare the system
for multiuser mode. It prompts you to check the file systems with
fsck(lM).
rc starts system daemons before the terminal lines are enabled for
multiuser mode. In addition, it mounts file systems and activates
accounting, error logging, system activity logging, and the Remote
Job Entry (RJE) system.
sysini trc performs various system initialization tasks, including
setting the internal clock, checking the root file system, setting
host and domain names, and running autoconfiguration.
macsysinitrc launches StartMonitor and Comrnand­
Shell to provide a front end for the A/UX® boot process on the
Macintosh® computer while the system initialization scripts are
executed. Before doing so, macsysinitrc executes
/etc/keyset, which needs to be executed before the Macintosh
environment is active.
