Note that strictly speaking, the values in /etc/sysconfig are in general the
values that will be used at next restart - it's totally possible for the system
to boot, the then-current values be picked up from /etc/sysconfig, and then any
number of things, from configuration automation tools like Ansible, to a
cow-orker sysadmin armed with nothing but /usr/bin/vi, to have changed the
values without you knowing about it and the daemons not be restarted yet...

(Let's just say that in 4 decades of doing this stuff, I've been surprised by that
sort of thing a few times.  :)
