SYSTUNEDUMP(8)							 Debian GNU/Linux						    SYSTUNEDUMP(8)

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 sys-
       tune(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.
