NAME

cdist-type__sysctl - manage sysctl settings

DESCRIPTION

Manages permanent as well as runtime sysctl settings. Permament settings are set by managing entries in /etc/sysctl.conf. Runtime settings are set by directly calling the sysctl executable.

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

EXAMPLES

__sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward --value 1
# On some operating systems, e.g. NetBSD, to prevent an error if the
# MIB style name does not exist (e.g. optional kernel components),
# name and value can be separated by `?=`. The same effect can be achieved
# in cdist by appending a `?` to the key:
__sysctl ddb.onpanic? --value -1
