13
15 systemd-sysctl.service is an early boot service that configures
16 sysctl(8) kernel parameters by invoking
17 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl.
18
19 When invoked with no arguments, /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl applies
20 all directives from configuration files listed in sysctl.d(5). If one
21 or more filenames are passed on the command line, only the directives
22 in these files are applied.
23
24 In addition, --prefix= option may be used to limit which sysctl
25 settings are applied.
26
27 See sysctl.d(5) for information about the configuration of sysctl
28 settings. After sysctl configuration is changed on disk, it must be
29 written to the files in /proc/sys/ before it takes effect. It is
30 possible to update specific settings, or simply to reload all
31 configuration, see Examples below.
32
34 --prefix=
35 Only apply rules with the specified prefix.
36
37 --cat-config
38 Copy the contents of config files to standard output. Before each
39 file, the filename is printed as a comment.
40
41 --no-pager
42 Do not pipe output into a pager.
43
44 -h, --help
45 Print a short help text and exit.
46
47 --version
48 Print a short version string and exit.

51 Example 1. Reset all sysctl settings
52
53 systemctl restart systemd-sysctl
54
55 Example 2. View coredump handler configuration
56
57 # sysctl kernel.core_pattern
58 kernel.core_pattern = |/usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp %s %c %p %u %g %t %P %I
59
60 Example 3. Update coredump handler configuration
61
62 # /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl --prefix kernel.core_pattern
63
64 This searches all the directories listed in sysctl.d(5) for
65 configuration files and writes /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern.
66
67 Example 4. Update coredump handler configuration according to a
68 specific file
69
70 # /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl 50-coredump.conf
71
72 This applies all the settings found in 50-coredump.conf. Either
73 /etc/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf, or /run/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf, or
74 /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf will be used, in the order of
75 preference.
76
77 See sysctl(8) for various ways to directly apply sysctl settings.
