Sorry to disturb you that time: got the answer for 'rc' from Eric Raymond's jargon from linuxfaqs.org:
[Unix: from runcom files on the CTSS system 1962-63, via the startup script
that's strange. i always thought (and was going to write that when this mail arrived) that rc stood for "resource", since rc files contain configuration resources for various apps. dunno where i got the idea. maybe this is one of those cases of "false etymology" which we find so often in the study of language.
