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
systune(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.
