NAME

       cdist-type__sysctl - manage sysctl settings

DESCRIPTION

       Manages  permanent  as  well  as  runtime  sysctl settings.  Permament settings are set by
       managing entries in /etc/sysctl.conf.  Runtime settings are set by  directly  calling  the
       sysctl executable.

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

       value  The value to set for the given key (object_id)

EXAMPLES

          __sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward --value 1

          # On some operating systems, e.g. NetBSD, to prevent an error if the
          # MIB style name does not exist (e.g. optional kernel components),
          # name and value can be separated by `?=`. The same effect can be achieved
          # in cdist by appending a `?` to the key:

          __sysctl ddb.onpanic? --value -1
