NAME
rc
- stops and starts services for the specified runlevel
SYNOPSIS
[-o , -override
]
[runlevel
]
DESCRIPTION
first stops any services that are not for the runlevel and then starts any
services in the runlevel and from stacked runlevels added by
rc-update
that are not currently started.
If no runlevel is specified then we use the current runlevel the system
is currently in.
There are some special runlevels that you should be aware of:
- sysinit
-
Brings up any system specific stuff such as
/dev
/proc
and optionally
/sys
for Linux based systems. It also mounts
/lib/rc/init.d
as a ramdisk using tmpfs where available unless / is mounted rw at boot.
uses
/lib/rc/init.d
to hold state information about the services it runs.
sysinit always runs when the host first starts should not be run again.
- boot
-
Generally the only services you should add to the boot runlevel are those
which deal with the mounting of filesystems, set the initial state of attached
peripherals and logging.
Hotplugged services are added to the boot runlevel by the system.
All services in the boot and sysinit runlevels are automatically included
in all other runlevels except for those listed here.
- single
-
Stops all services except for those in the sysinit runlevel.
- reboot
-
Changes to the shutdown runlevel and then reboots the host.
- shutdown
-
Changes to the shutdown runlevel and then halts the host.
You should not call any of these runlevels yourself.
Instead you should use
init(8)
and
shutdown(8)
and let them call these special runlevels.
