NOTE: This directory contains legacy initialization and termination
scripts for managing services. The preferred method of service
management is via the Service Management Facility; to read more about
SMF, consult smf(5).
File names in rc?.d directories are of the form [SK]nn<init.d filename>
where 'S' means start this job, 'K' means kill this job, and 'nn' is the
relative sequence number for killing or starting the job. When
executing each script in one of the /etc/rc[S0-6] directories, the
/sbin/rc[S0-6] script passes a single argument. It passes the argument
'stop' for scripts prefixed with 'K' and the argument 'start' for
scripts prefixed with 'S'. There is no harm in applying the same
sequence number to multiple scripts. In this case the order of
execution is deterministic but unspecified. It is recommended that
scripts be hard-linked from the same file stored in /etc/init.d/.
On earlier Solaris releases, a script named with a suffix of '.sh' would
be sourced, allowing scripts to modify the environment of other scripts
executed later. This behavior is no longer supported; for altering the
environment in which services are run, refer to the SMF documentation.
Legacy services are reported by the default svcs(1m) output, and (where
appropriate) the utility's '-p' option. This reporting assumes a
behavior as described above, such that each 'S' script has a suitable
matching 'K' script, and they are both hard linked to a script in
/etc/init.d/. If this is not the case, legacy service reporting may not
operate accurately; under all circumstances, the scripts are always
executed as described above.

rc3(8) System Manager's Manual rc3(8)
NAME
rc3 - Run command script executed when entering a multiuser run level
SYNOPSIS
rc3
DESCRIPTION
The rc3 script contains run commands that enable initialization of the system to a multiuser state; run level 3. In addition to commands
listed within the script itself, rc3 contains instructions to run certain commands found in the /sbin/rc3.d directory. The script defines
the conditions under which the commands execute; some commands run if the system is booting, other commands execute if the system is chang-
ing run levels.
By convention, files in the rc3.d directory begin with either the letter "S" or the letter "K" and are followed by a two-digit number and a
filename; for example: S00inet S55inetd S70mount S65lpd
In general, the system starts commands that begin with the letter "S" and stops commands that begin with the letter "K." Commands that
begin with the letter "K" run only when the system is changing run levels from a higher to a lower level. Commands that begin with the
letter "S" run in all cases. The numbering of commands in the /sbin/rc3.d directory is important since the numbers are sorted and the com-
mands are run in ascending order. Files in the /sbin/rc3.d directory are normally links to files in the /etc/init.d directory.
An entry in the inittab file causes the system to execute the rc3 run commands, for example: s3:3:wait:/sbin/rc3 < /dev/console > /dev/con-
sole 2>&1
The following operations are typical of those that result from executing the rc3 script and the commands located in the /sbin/rc3.d direc-
tory. The operation depends on which state the system is entering or exiting. Setting the time zone Checking the current run level Start-
ing network services and daemons Starting (or stopping) system services and daemons Mounting file systems
Setting the TIMEZONE variable is one of the first operations completed by the rc3 script. This action provides the default time zone for
subsequent commands.
