Overview
--------

ktune provides the ktune service, which sets several kernel tuning parameters 
to values suitable for certain system profiles.  Currently, the only profile
provided is for large-memory systems running disk and network-intensive
applications.  These settings do not override settings in /etc/sysctl.conf or
on the kernel command line.  ktune may harm performance on some systems and
workloads, so it should be tested under production-like conditions prior to
production use.  If ktune is found to harm performance, the settings may be
reverted without rebooting by stopping the ktune service.

Using ktune
-----------

To start ktune you can start the service with the service command:

   service ktune start

If you want to enable the service in the system, use the chkconfig command:

   chkconfig ktune on

More Information
----------------

Please have a look at /etc/sysconfig/ktune and /etc/sysctl.ktune for tuning 
parameters.
