rc(8) BSD System Manager's Manual rc(8)
NAME
rc -- command script for boot
SYNOPSIS
rc
rc.local
DESCRIPTION
Prior to Mac OS X 10.5, the rc script was used to bootstrap the OS. As of
Leopard, the system is self-bootstrapped via launchd(8) which uses the
launchctl(1) bootstrap subcommand to read in launchd jobs from the stan-
dard locations. For compatibility reasons, the rc.local script still
continues to work.
The startup file rc.local reside in /etc.
