4. De scripts

Ik zal de scripts niet zo uitgebreid analyseren als ik gedaan heb met /etc/inittab. Sommige scripts, zoals /etc/rc.d/rc.M, zijn erg uitgebreid. Bovendien zij ze met een beetje goede wil best te volgen. Bovendien zijn er in de scripts dingen die ik ook niet snap :D.

Ik zal beginnen met het systeem inistialisatie script /etc/rc.d/rc.S en het stop script /etc/rc.d/rc.6. Zoals je zult zien zij deze scripts maatjes van elkaar, ze complementeren elkaar.

4.1. /etc/rc.d/rc.S

Feitelijk is dit het belangrijkste opstart script. In /etc/rc.d/rc.S wordt de integriteit van het systeem gewaarborgt en de voor het systeem belangrijke services gestart. Alles wat in dit script gebeurt is runlevel onafhankelijk. Het is noodzakelijk voor de juiste werking van het systeem in welk runlevel dan ook.

Achtereenvolgens zal het volgende plaatsvinden:
