Rc
1. <filename extension> (run commands) The
filename extension common to many
Unix configuration files, e.g.
.newsrc,
.cshrc,
.twmrc, elmrc, etc.
The suffix "rc" derives from a script-creation utility in
CTSS called "runcom" (for "run commands").

2. A
shell from
AT&T's
Plan 9, by Tom Duff.
rc offers much the same capabilities as a traditional
Bourne shell, but with a much cleaner
syntax.
An open source reimplementation was made by Byron Rakitzis, and is now maintained by Tim Goodwin <
