This section contains information related to system bootstrapping, operation and maintenance. It describes all the server processes and daemons that run on the system, as well as standalone (PROM monitor) programs.
An 8V section number means one or more of the following:
Disk formatting and labeling is done by format.8s Bootstrapping of the system is described in boot.8s openboot.8s and init.8 The standard set of commands run by the system when it boots is described in rc.8 Related commands include those that check the consistency of file systems, fsck.8 those that mount and unmount file systems, mount.8 add swap devices, swapon.8 force completion of outstanding file system I/O, sync.2 shutdown or reboot a running system shutdown.8 halt.8 and reboot.8 and, set the time on a machine from the time on another machine rdate.8c
Creation of file systems is discussed in mkfs.8 and newfs.8 File system performance parameters can be adjusted with tunefs.8 File system backups and restores are described in dump.8 and restore.8
Procedures for adding new users to a system are described in adduser.8 using vipw.8 to lock the password file during editing. panic.8s which describes what happens when the system crashes, savecore.8 which can be used to analyze system crash dumps. Occasionally useful as adjuncts to the fsck.8 file system repair program are clri.8 dcheck.8 icheck.8 and ncheck.8
Configuring a new version of the kernel requires using the program config.8 major system bootstraps often require the use of mkproto.8 New devices are added to the /dev directory (once device drivers are configured into the system) using makedev.8 and mknod.8 The installboot.8s command can be used to install freshly compiled programs. The catman.8 command preformats the on-line manual pages.
Resource accounting is enabled by the accton command, and summarized by sa.8 Login time accounting is performed by ac.8 Disk quotas are managed using quot.8 quotacheck.8 quotaon.8 and repquota.8
A number of servers and daemon processes are described in this section. The update.8 daemon forces delayed file system I/O to occur and cron.8 runs periodic events (such as removing temporary files from the disk periodically). The syslogd.8 daemon maintains the system error log. The init.8 process is the initial process created when the system boots. It manages the reboot process and creates the initial login prompts on the various system terminals, using getty.8 The Internet super-server inetd.8c invokes all other internet servers as needed. These servers include the remote shell servers rshd.8c and rexecd.8c the remote login server rlogind.8c the FTP and TELNET daemons ftpd.8c and telnetd.8c the TFTP daemon tftpd.8c and the mail arrival notification daemon comsat.8c Other network daemons include the `load average/who is logged in' daemon rwhod.8c the routing daemon routed.8c and the mail daemon sendmail.8
If network protocols are being debugged, then the protocol debugging trace program trpt.8c is often useful. Remote magnetic tape access is provided by rsh and rmt.8c Remote line printer access is provided by lpd.8 and control over the various print queues is provided by lpc.8 Printer cost-accounting is done through pac.8
Network host tables may be gotten from the
ARPA NIC
using
gettable.8c
and converted to
UNIX-system-usable
format using
htable.8
RPC and NFS daemons include:
