Automodules

System Initialization Module Autoloading

The *module autoloading* process is one of the criticalservices, which startup during the early stages of [sysinit system initialization]. The module autoloader script /etc/init.d/modules automatically loads the [module]s defined in the modules.autoload configuration file.

/etc/modules.autoload

The /etc/modules.autoload file contains the names of [module]s that are to be loaded at [sysinit system initialization] time, one per line. Arguments can be given in the same line as the [module] name.

Lines beginning with a hash are treated as comments and are ignored.
