NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       itruns - set up files for use by the it command

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       /sbin/itruns file [file...] in run-state [, file [file...]
       in run-state] [,...]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The itruns program sets up scripts to  be  run  by  it(8).
       (These  programs are typically used within system configuration
 and  installation  scripts.)   The  itruns  command
       searches  for  /sbin/it.d/bin/file.  If  itruns  finds the
       file,  it  creates  one  or  more  symbolic   links   from
       /sbin/it.d/run-state.d/file to /sbin/it.d/bin/file.

       The  run-state  argument  can be a single run state, or it
       can be two run states separated by either the word  or  or
       the  word and. If two run states are specified with the or
       keyword, itruns checks for (and creates, if  necessary)  a
       directory whose name combines both run states and places a
       link in that directory so that the file will  be  executed
       when  the  it  program detects either state.  You can collapse
 two or-separated states into  a  single  expression;
       for  example,  2  or  3 can be expressed as 23. If the and
       keyword is used, itruns checks for (and creates, if necessary)
  two  separate directories and places a link in each
       of them so that either state  triggers  execution  of  the
       file independently of the other state.

       If  two or more files are specified for a single run-state
       argument, links are created for all of the files as  indicated
 by the run-state argument.

       If  two  or  more combinations of files and run states are
       specified as comma-separated  expressions,  itruns  treats
       each combination individually.

RESTRICTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  itruns  command must be executed from the root directory
 (/). The command finds only files that are located in
       the /sbin/it.d/bin directory.

EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]

       This  example  sets  up the doconfig script to be run when
       the system is booted to run state 2: itruns doconfig in  2
       Either  of  the  command lines in this example sets up the
       doconfig and getdate scripts to be run when the system  is
       booted  to  run state 2 or to run state 3: itruns doconfig
       getdate in 2 or 3 itruns doconfig getdate in 23 This example
  sets up the doconfig script to be run when the system
       is booted to run state 2 and again when the  system  comes
       to  run  state 3, the getdate script to be run only in run
       state 2, and the getsysname script to be run only  in  run
       state 3: itruns doconfig in 2 and 3, getdate in 2, getsysname
 in 3
