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.

CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT

       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

       systunedump(8).
