ZINIT(8)

NAME
zinit - zephyr login initialization program

SYNOPSIS
zinit

DESCRIPTION
Zinit is normally executed automatically by the login process. It waits until the WindowGram port file is available, and then reads through /usr/tmp/attachtab to discover which filesystems are mounted. It subscribes to class FILSRV, instances "{servername}" and "{servername}:filesystem" for each entry in attachtab, where {servername} is the name of the machine providing the file service. In this manner, users can receive status messages regarding filesystems that were attached before the user logged in.
