The init.rc is not a shell script in normal linux. You have to register the
service in init.rc during Android init. The following line in init.rc is to
create the socket. The socket is created when the init.rc is parsed by
android init.
socket zygote stream 666
Android use that way to create socket for security concern probably.
You could learn more about init.rc from system/core/init/readme.txt
Hope it's helpful.
