The /etc/system/sysinit script runs
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit to do local initialization
of your system.
Figure 1. Initialization done by /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.
The rc.sysinit script does the following:
- It starts a secure random-number generator,
random,
to provide random numbers for use in encryption and so on.
- If the /var/dumps directory exists,
rc.sysinit starts the
dumper
utility to capture (in /var/dumps)
dumps of processes that terminate abnormally.
- If /etc/host_cfg/$HOSTNAME/rc.d/rc.local
exists and is executable, rc.sysinit runs it.
Otherwise, if /etc/rc.d/rc.local exists and is executable,
rc.sysinit runs it.
There isn't a default version of this file;
you must create it if you want to use it.
For more information, see
"rc.local,"
below.
- Finally, rc.sysinit runs
tinit.
By default,
rc.sysinit
tells tinit to use text mode.

"tinit."
