Re: [SLE] Fedora vs SuSE sysctl question

Hi Jorge, opps, I was wrong. `sysctl -e -p /etc/sysconfig/sysctl` with regular style works but other boot up scripts expects shell variable. so it says error. # sh /etc/init.d/boot.sysctl /etc/init.d/boot.sysctl: line 29: net.ipv4.ip_forward=0: command not found Usage: /etc/init.d/boot.sysctl {start|stop|status} Kazutomo Yoshii wrote:

Hi Jorge,

I think that you can also use the same style as fedora. see /etc/init.d/boot.sysctl

Basically, boot.sysctl execs `sysctl -e -p /etc/sysconfig/sysctl` (man sysctl)

Shell environment value such as IP_TCP_SYNCOOKIES in /etc/sysconfig/sysctl are handled by other boot up scripts such as /etc/init.d/boot.ipconfig

Thanks,
