load_reboot_script filename

Load a script to be run whenever the real-time cpu reboots.

Arguments:
Script filename(arguments)
The pathname (and optionally the arguments) of a readable file that contains the initialization script.

Example:
The following example tells the control program to try to read the file $CBI_DIR/conf/rtc.init, compile it and arrange for the result to be executed whenever the real-time cpu reboots. It replaces any existing reboot script. Note that in this example the script takes no arguments. If arguments are needed, see the documentation of the schedule command.
 load_reboot_script "$CBI_DIR/conf/rtc.init"
Note that the quotes are needed in the above example to prevent the $ symbol being interpretted as a script operator.
Context:
Whenever the real-time cpu is rebooted, the hardware that it controls is placed in a safe but useless default state. The real-time system needs to be told many things about its environment before it can do anything useful. This is the role of the initialization script that the load_reboot_script loads. This script is simply a schedule that is automatically called upon to configure the real-time system after each reboot, so it can contain any of the usual scheduling commands. It is recommended that the last thing that this file should do is turn on archiving, using the inhibit false command.
