The 10.x Start-up/Shutdown model introduces an entirely new scheme for subsystem control. Users no longer modify the large and confusing /etc/rc* scripts to modify the system behavior.

3.4.1 /etc/rc* Scripts

If your system or application modified or created its own /etc/rc* script, this will need to be changed for 10.0. Modification of the HP-supplied scripts is discouraged. Creating application (or subsystem) specific scripts is the recommended solution. Guidelines in section 3.2, “Start-up/Shutdown Specifications”, must be followed to ensure correct behavior.

3.4.2 Manageable Configuration and Script Files

HP is no longer supplying large /etc/rc* scripts. Instead, they have been separated into functional pieces, with the configuration data residing under /etc/rc.config.d.

Developers and users will only modify configuration files to control the system start-up/shutdown behavior. Modification of the scripts under /sbin/init.d is not recommended.
