26NOTE: This directory contains legacy initialization and termination
27scripts for managing services.  The preferred method of service
28management is via the Service Management Facility; to read more about
29SMF, consult smf(5).
30
31For a general discussion of the mechanism used to invoke these scripts
32see the file /etc/init.d/README.
33
34When moving to run-level 3, via an "init 3" invocation or the SMF major
35milestone "svc:/milestone/multi-user-server:default", /sbin/rc3 executes
36each 'K' script within /etc/rc3.d/ with the argument 'stop', followed by
37each 'S' script within /etc/rc3.d/ with the argument 'start'.   All
38start scripts in the directories /etc/rcS.d/ and /etc/rc2.d/ will have
39been run as part of the earlier major milestones.  Any warnings, errors,
40or output from the scripts in /etc/rc3.d/ are logged to the file:
41
42/var/svc/log/milestone-multi-user-server:default.log
43
44Scripts in /etc/rc3.d/ may assume the following:
45
46	The NFS server, if enabled, is running and shared NFS filesystems
47	are exported.
48
49For a full list of services brought online before scripts are run, see
50the output of "svcs -l svc:/milestone/multi-user-server:default".
