rt-conf

rt-conf lets administrators define how a Real-Time Ubuntu system should be tuned by placing the desired settings in a configuration file. It applies those settings through a command-line interface, giving terminal-based system management a direct way to control real-time behavior. The file-based approach keeps tuning choices explicit and makes the same configuration easier to reuse across managed systems.

Users work with the configuration through rt-conf’s command-line commands rather than a graphical control panel. This provides a text-oriented method for adjusting operating-system settings while keeping the configuration in a form that can be reviewed and maintained alongside other system administration material. The tool is intended for people who need repeatable tuning of Real-Time Ubuntu on machines operated from the terminal.

Typical users include administrators of real-time workloads, embedded deployments, and other Linux systems where predictable system behavior must be configured through text. It is published by Canonical IoT Labs and is distributed as freeware for Linux under the System Tools category. The current version is v1.0.0-beta.1+git17.825cb25.

rt-conf requires Linux and snapd, so both are prerequisites for using it. Its scope is specifically Real-Time Ubuntu configuration and tuning rather than general-purpose desktop customization.
