Introduction

The rcorder utility is designed to print out a dependency ordering of a set of interdependent files. Typically it is used to find an execution sequence for a set of shell scripts in which certain files must be executed before others.

Each file passed to rcorder must be annotated with special lines (which look like comments to the shell) which indicate the dependencies the files have upon certain points in the sequence, known as "conditions", and which indicate, for each file, which "conditions" may be expected to be filled by that file.

rc Script Ordering

Each rc script identifies what resources it needs before it can start. Rcorder uses that information and sorts the scripts in the right order. The rcorder(8) sorts all the scripts in /etc/rc.d and /usr/local/etc/rc.d in to the order used at system boot.
