Introduction

SysctlGUI is a GUI application to modify kernel parameters at runtime.
This app's main purpose is to provide a graphical way to edit kernel parameters. These parameters are those listed under /proc/sys and they are edited using sysctl. Read more about sysctl here.
Sysctl GUI is a work in progress, feel free to write your comments or contribute to its development
Source code is available here.

Features

• Get information about known parameters directly from kernel documentation

Installation instructions

Make sure you meet the requeriments:
