NAME

       systunedump - Dumps /proc files for kernel tuning.

SYNOPSIS

       systunedump  [  -c,--config  configfile  ]  [  -h,  --help ] [ -p, --path dumppath ] [ -v,
       --verbose ]

DESCRIPTION

       This program dumps elements of the /proc filesystem to standard output in a format  which,
       if redirected to a file, can be used by the systune(8) utility.

       Common usage:

       systunedump > /etc/systune.conf

       systunedump --config /etc/systune.kernel20.dump > /etc/systune.kernel20.conf

       systunedump --config /dev/null --path /proc/sys/vm > /etc/systune.conf

OPTIONS

       -c, --config configfile
              Specify an alternative configuration file.  The default is /etc/systune.dump

       -h, --help
              Print a short explanation of the command syntax.

       -p, --path dumppath
              Add  the  specified  path  to  any  items already listed in the configuration file.
              Items in the path must be separated by whitespace.  All  items  in  the  path  must
              begin /proc/sys/.

       -v, --verbose
              Verbose  mode:  allow  non-existent  items  in  the  path and configuration file to
              produce errors to  standard  error.   Without  this  option,  erroneous  paths  are
              discarded silently.

FILES

       /etc/systune.dump
              A  file  containing  a  list  of  paths  to  dump.   Each  pathname must begin with
              /proc/sys/.  Comments, introduced by #, can be included; the whole  line  from  the
              comment  character  onwards  is discarded, together with any whitespace immediately
              preceding it.

       The configuration file can be a file, such as /etc/systune.conf, that contains  previously
       dumped  data;  the  definition  part  of  each  line,  after  and  including the colon, is
       discarded.

SEE ALSO
