Public bug reported: /etc/sysctl.d/README says
After making any changes, please run "service procps start" (or, from a Debian package maintainer script "invoke-rc.d procps start"). however running this command does absolutely nothing on Ubuntu 17.04 (and, presumably, any other Ubuntu version since systemd became the main init system). To actually get your changes written into /proc/sys, you have to do service procps reload Can you please update the README? (This is similar to bug 1332362, but I think that one was Upstart's fault.)
