NAME
       virtual-filesystems  -  event  signalling that virtual filesystems have
       been mounted

SYNOPSIS
       virtual-filesystems [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION
       The virtual-filesystems event is generated by  the  mountall(8)  daemon
       after it has mounted all virtual filesystems listed in fstab(5).  moun-
       tall(8) emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks
       started  or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with other ac-
       tivity.

       This event is typically used by services that must be started in  order
       to mount other filesystems.  When this event occurs, common filesystems
       such as /usr may not be mounted.  For most normal services the filesys-
       tem(7) event is sufficient.

EXAMPLE
       A  service  that  wishes  to  be  running  once virtual filesystems are
       mounted might use:

              start on virtual-filesystems
