What happened to /etc/rc and /etc/rc.local?

They're now fragmented into 12 million tiny little pieces. Look in
the following files to get oriented:



	    /etc/inittab - defines which programs init starts and when.


	    /sbin/rcS, /etc/rcS.d/* - booting stuff


	    /sbin/rc2, /etc/rc2.d/*,


		    /sbin/rc3, /etc/rc3.d/* - stuff for multi-user startup.

Note that all files in /etc/rc*.d/* are hardlinked from
/etc/init.d (with better names), so you should grep in there.

There are many "run levels" to the System V init; the run
level 3 is normally used for "multi user with networking."

When executing the scripts in an /etc/rc?.d directory, the
K* scripts are executed first, followed by the S* scripts.
Scripts ending in .sh are executed in the same shell and can
be used to set environment variables used further on in the
same directory.

A basic startup script looks like this:



#!/bin/sh


# Sample init.d script.


# Install a copy under /etc/init.d/your-daemon


# make links to /etc/rc2.d/Sxxyour-daemon (or rc3.d)


# and /etc/rc[01].d/Kxxyour-daemon.


# Scripts ending in .sh are executed with the sh "." command.


# Scripts not ending in .sh are executed as "sh script"





case "$1" in


start)


	    #... commands to start daemon ....


	    ;;


stop)


	    #... commands to stop daemon ....


	    ;;
