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
34After all its dependencies have been satisfied, the start method of the
35SMF major milestone "svc:/milestone/single-user:default" executes each
36'S' script within /etc/rcS.d/ with the argument 'start'.  Any warnings,
37errors, or output from these scripts are logged to the file:
38
39/var/svc/log/milestone-single-user:default.log
40
41If the system is changing from a higher run-level (for example, through
42an invocation of "init S"), SMF executes all 'K' scripts within
43/etc/rcS.d/ with the argument 'stop'. Any warnings, errors, or output
44from these scripts are logged to the file:
45
46/var/svc/log/rcS.log
47
48Scripts in /etc/rcS.d/ may assume the following:
49
50	Enough network plumbing has been done to NFS mount /usr/.
51
52	All system-supplied device file names have been established.
53
54	The environment variable _INIT_RECONFIG is set if this is
55	a reconfiguration boot.
56
57	The base system mounts have been performed, and the file
58	systems are read/write if so specified.  These are:
59
60                /
61                /usr
62                /proc
63                /dev/fd
64                /tmp
65                /var
66                /var/adm
67                /var/run
68                /dev
69                /devices
70                /etc
71
72For a full list of services brought online before scripts are run, see
73the output of "svcs -l svc:/milestone/single-user:default".
