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,  erro-
	      neous 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 immedi-
       ately 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).
