NAME¶
systune - Kernel tuning through the /proc filesystem.
SYNOPSIS¶
systune [
-c, --config configfile ] [
-h, --help ] [
-v, --verbose ]
DESCRIPTION¶
This program writes kernel parameters, previously saved in a configuration file,
to the /proc filesystem. This enables kernel performance to be adjusted
without recompiling the kernel.
OPTIONS¶
- -c, --config configfile
- Specify an alternative config file. The default is
/etc/systune.conf
- -h, --help
- Print a short explanation of syntax to standard output.
- -v, --verbose
- Verbose mode: cause non-existent paths in the configuration to generate
error output to standard error. Without this option, erroneous paths are
discarded silently.
Each definition takes a single line, in the form
path:
definition,
where
path must begin with
/proc/sys/. Paths beginning with any
other sequence are silently ignored.
Comments are introduced by the character #. The whole line from the # character
onwards is discarded, together with any whitespace immediately preceding it.
Blank lines are ignored.
FILES¶
- /etc/systune.conf
- A file with saved kernel parameters. It is possible to generate this file
with the systunedump (8) command.
SEE ALSO¶
