 tcp(ADMN)                       19 June 1992                       tcp(ADMN)


 Name

    tcp - /etc/tcp - TCP start/stop script

 Syntax

    /etc/tcp start
    /etc/tcp stop

 Description

    /etc/tcp starts or stops the STREAMS TCP software. TCP will start auto-
    matically at system startup time if /etc/tcp is linked to
    /etc/rc2.d/Sname.  Similarly, TCP will stop automatically at system shut-
    down time if /etc/tcp is linked to /etc/rc0.d/Kname.  See rc0(ADM) and
    rc2(ADM) for further information.

    /etc/tcp must be customized for a particular installation before it can
    be used.  The following items must be edited:

    Domain name
              The environment variable ``DOMAIN'' must be set to the name of
              your domain.

    Interface configuration
              ifconfig commands must be used to set the internet address (and
              any other desired options) for each of your interfaces.  The
              ifconfig line for the loopback interface should not require
              modification.  See ifconfig(ADMN) for further information.

    The following items may need to be edited:

    PATH      The supplied path may require modification if commands run by
              /etc/tcp are in other directories.

    PROCS     The ``PROCS'' variable contains a space-separated list of names
              of processes to kill when executing the stop function.  If
              additional daemons are used, their names can be added to this
              list.

    Daemons   The standard internetworking daemons are started at this point.
              Any additional daemons or other commands may be included in
              this section.  Any of the standard daemons that are not desired
              may be removed or commented out.
