DESCRIPTION

The /etc/sysctl.conf file is read in when the system goes into multi-user mode to set default settings for the kernel. The /etc/sysctl.conf is in the format of the sysctl(8) command, i.e.
sysctl_mib=value

Comments are denoted by a "#" at the beginning of a line. Comments can also exist at the end of a line, as seen in the EXAMPLES section, below.

FILES

/etc/sysctl.conf

To turn off logging of programs that exit due to fatal signals you may use a configuration like
