%general-entities; ]> Bootscripts Installation of the bootscripts is very simple: make install Also install hotplug's boot script: make install-hotplug Installed scripts checkfs, cleanfs, console, functions, halt, ifdown, ifup, localnet, mountfs, mountkernfs, network, rc, reboot, sendsignals, setclock, static, swap, sysklogd and template checkfs checkfs checks the file systems just before they are mounted (with the exception of journal and network based file systems). cleanfs cleanfs removes files that shouldn't be preserved between reboots, such as those in /var/run/ and /var/lock/. It re-creates /var/run/utmp and removes the possibly present /etc/nologin, /fastboot and /forcefsck files. console console loads the keymap table you specified as proper for your keyboard layout. It also sets the screen font. functions functions contains functions shared among different scripts, such as error and status checking. halt halt halts the system. ifdown and ifup ifdown assist the network script with network devices. localnet localnet sets up the system's hostname and local loopback device. mountfs mountfs mounts all file systems that aren't marked noauto or aren't network based. mountkernfs mountkernfs is used to mount kernel-provided file systems, such as proc. network network sets up network interfaces, such as network cards, and sets up the default gateway where applicable. rc rc is the master run-level control script. It is responsible for running all the other scripts one-by-one, in a sequence determined by the name of the symbolic links being processed. reboot reboot reboots the system. sendsignals sendsignals makes sure every process is terminated before the system reboots or halts. setclock setclock resets the kernel clock to localtime in case the hardware clock isn't set to GMT time. static static provides the functionality needed to assign a static IP address to a network interface. swap swap enables and disables swap files and partitions. sysklogd sysklogd starts and stops the system and kernel log daemons. template template is a template you can use to create your own bootscripts for your other daemons.
