+.Sh NAME
+.Nm rc
+.Nd command script for auto\-reboot and daemons
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm rc
+.Nm rc.local
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Rc
+is the command script which controls the automatic reboot and
+.Nm rc.local
+is the script holding commands which are pertinent only
+to a specific site.
+.Pp
+When an automatic reboot is in progress,
+.Nm rc
+is invoked with the argument
+.Em autoboot .
+The first portion of
+.Nm rc
+runs an
+.Xr fsck 8
+with option
+.Fl p
+to ``preen'' all the disks of minor inconsistencies resulting
+from the last system shutdown and to check for serious inconsistencies
+caused by hardware or software failure.
+If this auto-check and repair succeeds, then the second part of
+.Nm rc
+is run.
+.Pp
+The second part of
+.Nm rc ,
+which is run after an auto-reboot succeeds and also if
+.Nm rc
+is invoked when a single user shell terminates (see
+.Xr init 8 ) ,
+starts all the daemons on the system, preserves editor files
+and clears the scratch directory
+.Pa /tmp .
+.Pp
+.Nm Rc.local
+is executed immediately before any other commands after a successful
+.Xr fsck .
+Normally, the first commands placed in the
+.Nm rc.local
+file define the machine's name, using
+.Xr hostname 1 ,
+and save any possible core image that might have been
+generated as a result of a system crash, with
+.Xr savecore 8 .
+The latter command is included in the
+.Nm rc.local
+file because the directory in which core dumps are saved
+is usually site specific.
+.Pp
+Following tradition, the startup files
+.Nm rc
+and
+.Nm rc.local
+reside in
+.Pa /etc .
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr init 8 ,
+.Xr reboot 8 ,
+.Xr savecore 8
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+command appeared in
+.Bx 4.0 .
