In this movie we're going to be taking a very quick look at billions.
Billions are simple on off switch is that per meet or disallow the use of specific functionality.
We can't use them to make on the fly tweaks to policy roles while I Linux is up and running with billions
we can enable or disable policy settings without having to reboot.
Here in my server if I want a list of all the billions in my current policy I can always go and get
simple just a let's do a quick word count.
This is showing me the total number of settings that can be controlled use in Boolean if I want to forecast
in a different set then I can always grep for it and if I want descriptions for those options I can
always use SC manage boolean shell to change a certain I'm going to set the ball let's change of us
one here t on and I can verify
it's worth noting that the change we just made will not survive a reboot to make persistent changes
I have to use dash capital P This is gonna go ahead and recompile and reload for current policy we can't
verify if that the entire policy has been updated by Lukin of the timestamp on the policy binary file
to do that I'm going to do a long listen at C as silly NOx targeted at policy and if I do date we can
see the policy was just updated if we also go ahead and do a long listing on active we can see the entire
local policy structure was updated I'm gonna do one more thing so let's go out and print out this file
this is going to show me all the billions that I've changed from the default setting that's all for
now I would like to mention that not all policy rules can be configured through billions and the next
lesson I'm going to be sure when you how to do some trouble shoot.
Thank you.
