8.4 The /etc Directory

The /etc directory is where a system administrator spends much of his or her time. All of the system configuration files are placed in this directory. The files here control system startup and shutdown procedures as well as the startup and shutdown of server and daemon processes. It also contains configuration files for applications installed on the HP-UX system. The /etc directory also contains subdirectories, as shown in Figure 8-3.
