SYSCTL !!!SYSCTL NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION PARAMETERS EXAMPLES FILES SEE ALSO BUGS AUTHOR ---- !!NAME sysctl - configure kernel parameters at runtime !!SYNOPSIS __sysctl [[-n] variable ... sysctl [[-n] -w variable=value ... sysctl [[-n] -p sysctl [[-n] -a sysctl [[-n] -A__ !!DESCRIPTION __sysctl__ is used to modify kernel parameters at runtime. The parameters available are those listed under /proc/sys/. Procfs is required for __sysctl(8)__ support in Linux. You can use __sysctl(8)__ to both read and write sysctl data. !!PARAMETERS __variable__ The name of a key to read from. An example is kernel.ostype. The '/' separator is also accepted in place of a '.'. __variable=value__ To set a key, use the form variable=value, where variable is the key and value is the value to set it to. If the value contains quotes or characters which are parsed by the shell, you may need to enclose the value in double quotes. This requires the -w parameter to use. __-n__ Use this option to disable printing of the key name when printing values. __-w__ Use this option when you want to change a sysctl setting. __-p__ Load in sysctl settings from the file specified or /etc/sysctl.conf if none given. __-a__ Display all values currently available. __-A__ Display all values currently available in table form. !!EXAMPLES /sbin/sysctl -a /sbin/sysctl -n kernel.hostname /sbin/sysctl -w kernel.domainname= /sbin/sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf !!FILES ''/proc/sys /etc/sysctl.conf'' !!SEE ALSO __sysctl.conf__(5) !!BUGS The -A parameter behaves just as -a does. !!AUTHOR George Staikos, ----
