This utility package allows users to run shell scripts automatically
at system boot time. This is useful for everything from restarting
servers (in fact, I developed it for use with the superserver program
appearing here not too long ago) to sending mail notification of
system reboots. The user interface is similar to Sun's crontab.

X# Then edit your /etc/rc.local (or other startup script) so that
X# /etc/rc.users is run at boot time. Usually you will want it to
X# be run fairly late in the boot process, in case users want to
X# talk to other system daemons, etc. (This could be done by make
X# install, but it's probably best not to go tweaking peoples'
X# rc files...)

X.SH NAME
Xrcuser \- manipulate user system startup files
X.SH SYNOPSIS
X\fBrcuser\fR [\fB\-e\fR|\fB\-l\fR|\fB\-d\fR|\fB\-t\fR [\fIusername\fR]]
X.SH DESCRIPTION
X\fIRcuser\fR allows users to maintain shell scripts which are executed at
Xsystem startup time. Users' startup scripts are stored in a system directory
X(\fI/usr/lib/rc\fR by default), in filenames matching the usernames of their
Xowners. Startup files are executed by
X.IR sh (1).
X.LP
XAny output from the users' scripts are mailed to them.
X.LP
XThe superuser may specify a username on the command line; that user's file
Xwill be manipulated. If no username is specified or \fIrcuser\fR is not
Xinvoked by the superuser, the current user's login name is used.
X.SH OPTIONS
X.IP \-e
XEdit a startup file. The environment variable VISUAL is used if it exists;
Xotherwise a default editor
X.RI ( vi (1))
Xis used. If a startup file
Xdoes not exist, it is created by \fIrcuser\fR before the editor is invoked.
X.IP \-l
XList a startup file. The startup file is copied to standard output, using
X.IR cat (1).
XThis is the default action if no flags are specified on the command line.
X.IP \-d
XDelete a startup file.
X.IP \-t
XTest a startup file. The file is executed the same way it would be at
Xsystem startup time. If it doesn't exit fairly quickly and without
Xproducing output, something is probably wrong. Note that startup files
Xare run with minimal environment strings; this environment is duplicated
Xby \fIrcuser\fR.
X.SH FILES
X.IP /usr/lib/rc
XUser startup directory
X.IP /etc/rc.local
XSystem startup script
X.IP /etc/rc.users
XRuns user startup scripts
