 # TrueNAS_change_arc_size
-Simple script for checking if arc size was changed.
+Script for checking if arc size was changed, and changing it back. 
+
+
+## Usage
+Set **arc_check.sh** file to run with cron, InitScript or both.
+
+In **arc_check.sh** change ***<CHANGE_ME>*** value to match the size you want. For converting GiB to bytes I've used [this site](https://www.dataunitconverter.com/gibibyte-to-byte). 
+
+
+### Crontab
+**1>** redirects stdout to /tmp/arc_size.log
+
+**2>** stderr to /tmp/arc_size.errlog
+
+<_cronexpression_> /dir/to/file/arc_check.sh 1> /tmp/arc_size.log 2> /tmp/arc_size.errlog
+
+
+### InitScript
+
+You can configure it in TrueNAS GUI under System Settings > Advanced > Init/Shutdown Scripts
