Some applications will read these system files to decide how to function. The exact effect depends on the file, the parameter, and the application. Note: the files in /proc and /etc/sysconfig are not log files.

The /proc files exist to facilitate communication with the kernel. /etc/sysconfig/ contains system configuration files (doh!). These files are essential to the correct working of your system and have standard methods for altering them.

Why? What do you want to do? (What did you do?!)
