bcheckrc(ADM)


bcheckrc -- check and mount root and boot filesystems at system initialization

Syntax

/etc/bcheckrc [ -a ]

Description

bcheckrc is a shell script executed via an entry in /etc/inittab by init(M) whenever the system is booted (or rebooted).

When the system autoboots, init calls bcheckrc with the -a option so that bcheckrc will run without operator intervention.

The main actions performed by bcheckrc are:

After running bcheckrc, 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 multiuser state via the /etc/rc2 procedure.

bcheckrc may be used for several run-level states.
