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).
