SMTSTATE(8)

NAME
smtstate - Save and restore the current SMT state

SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/smtstate [ option ]

DESCRIPTION
The smtstate script is used to persist the current SMT state and to restore it at a convenient time. The idea behind it is to use the script together with a systemd service to save SMT state at any shutdown event and to restore it at an early stage of the boot process. Such implementation creates a way to persist the SMT state across reboots, without requiring any other configuration from system administrators.

--load
