The sysadm.ini File

When the system is started, once all system components have initialized, the C_INIT component looks for a file named /etc/sysadm.ini in the embedded file system boot image. This script file is executed as the last step of the system initialization and you can customize it to run selected applications directly upon system start-up. The most usual tasks performed by sysadm.ini are as follows:

• Creating appropriate device entries in the /dev directory

• Parsing the device tree of the system and associating actual devices to correlated /dev entries

• Initializing the network interface, for example, to use DHCP or ifconfig

• Mounting local or remote file systems, or both

• Starting the local console command interpreter or the remote command interpreter, or both
