BSD/EPA Boot

In the BSD Unix system, shell jobs to that need to be executed when the system boots can be placed in '/usr/local/etc/rc.d' .

EPA's installation process adds the shell job 'epaboot.sh' to that directory.

To maximize cross-system usage potential, the system boot shell job simply transfers control to the complete EPA process boot job located in EPA software library at '..../EPAlib'

cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d

cat epaboot.sh

#starting EPA operations

/u2/EPAlib/epa.begin
