sysctl命令被用于在内核运行时动态地修改内核的运行参数，可用的内核参数在目录/proc/sys中。它包含一些TCP/ip堆栈和虚拟内存系统的高级选项， 这可以让有经验的管理员提高引人注目的系统性能。用sysctl可以读取设置超过五百个系统变量。
语法
sysctl(选项)(参数)
选项
-n：打印值时不打印关键字； -e：忽略未知关键字错误； -N：仅打印名称； -w：当改变sysctl设置时使用此项； -p：从配置文件“/etc/sysctl.conf”加载内核参数设置； -a：打印当前所有可用的内核参数变量和值； -A：以表格方式打印当前所有可用的内核参数变量和值。
参数
变量=值：设置内核参数对应的变量值。
实例
查看所有可读变量：
sysctl -a
读一个指定的变量，例如kern.maxproc：
sysctl kern.maxproc kern.maxproc: 1044
要设置一个指定的变量，直接用variable=value这样的语法：
sysctl kern.maxfiles=5000
kern.maxfiles: 2088 -> 5000
您可以使用sysctl修改系统变量，也可以通过编辑sysctl.conf文件来修改系统变量。sysctl.conf看起来很像rc.conf。它用variable=value的形式来设定值。指定的值在系统进入多用户模式之后被设定。并不是所有的变量都可以在这个模式下设定。
sysctl变量的设置通常是字符串、数字或者布尔型。（布尔型用 1 来表示'yes'，用 0 来表示'no'）。
sysctl -w kernel.sysrq=0 sysctl -w kernel.core_uses_pid=1 sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_redirects=0 sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route=0 sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter=1 sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies=1 sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog=2048 sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout=30 sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_synack_retries=2 sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time=3600 sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling=1 sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_sack=1
