I guess he/she means a "SysCtl"-feature similar to the one implemented in Unix-like systems. Such systems provide information about the kernel data structures in some kind of "virtual file system", which is mounted under "/proc". There are some files, that contain information about processes, interrupts, etc., but also some files that can be changed to set kernel variables. This is called sysctl, as far as I know

The Unix 'sysctl' / 'procfs' way of doing things is rather clunky. If we were to support runtime interogation & update of JNode system parameters (a la sysctl), the "Java way" (TM) would be to implement the functionality using JMX.
Sysctl for JNODE
Hi ,,
why not a sysctl for JNODE
Thank You
What do you mean ?
What do you mean by sysctl ? System control ?
Could you precise what you are talking about ?
