Where do I get information on how to configure my /etc/sysctl.conf? I am installing IBM DB2 and as a part of the procedure, I have to edit that file "set maximum message queues to 128" (I don't know
sysctl controls settings in /proc/sys
all names in sysctl.conf refer to directories in /proc/sys. dots are replaced with /
Here's what I have to add to the file --
# Sets maximum number of message queues to 128 # Set this to 1024 or higher on production systems kernel.msgmni = 128
so basically this means:
% echo 128 > /proc/sys/kernel/msgmni
or, put it as is in sysctl.conf and let sysctl do the rest. man sysctl. There's also supposed to be a sysctl.conf man page, which is never installed. Does anyone have a distro on which this man page is installed?
