Fixed In Version: procps-ng-3.3.15-8.el8
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
.`sysctl` now matches the `systemd` directory order The configuration directory order of the `sysctl` utility is now synchronized with the `systemd-sysctl` directory order. The configuration directory examines and changes kernel parameters at runtime. The configuration files in `/etc/sysctl.d` directory have higher priority than configuration files in `/run/sysctl.d`, and no more disruptions to the precedence of files between `sysctl` and `systemd` happen.
