hi Stuart thank you so much. you are very helpful but someone made this computer to hide something sysctl -a and /etc/sysctl.conf are not in the system thank you again Stuart Sears <stuart@sjsears.com> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> chloe K wrote: > Hi all > > i am trying to copy this folder /proc to other computer What exactly do you want to achieve by doing this? > but all parameters in /proc are gone > > eg: cpuinfo This is because the 'files' in /proc don't actually exist as such. /proc is a kernel reporting (and in some cases tuning) mechanism. You can't really change much of it, but the items you can mess with are mostly controlled by sysctl, so sysctl -a > mysysctls would copy those settings for you. > how can I copy it and keep the information? for individual files you could probably do something like this: cat /proc/cpuinfo > cpuinfo.txt and then copy the cpuinfo.txt file to another computer. But it would help to know why you wish to do this as it seems there may be better ways to achieve your goals.
