Module summary

Coordination of System Startup

Description

The init module is pre-loaded and contains the code for the init system process which coordinates the start-up of the system. The first function evaluated at start-up is boot(BootArgs), where BootArgs is a list of command line arguments supplied to the Erlang runtime system from the local operating system. See erl(1).

init reads the boot script which contains instructions on how to initiate the system. See script(4) for more information about boot scripts.

init also contains functions to restart, reboot, and stop the system.
