I have found that this can be done using sysctl.conf or dynamically by sysctl kernel.hz_timer=0. However, it seems that the sysctl kernel.hz_timer=0 command does not work. See the following: sysctl kernel.hz_timer kernel.hz_timer = 1 Then I exeucte: sysctl kernel.hz_timer=0 error: 'kernel.hz_timer=0' is an unknown key I have also tried setting my /etc/sysctl.conf file up as follows: # # Created by Eric Sammons 02/05/2004 # kernel.hz_timer = 0 After I reboot my setting remains = 1. Any ideas what might be going on here? Thank you! Eric Sammons (804)697-3925 FRIT - Unix Systems
