Description Pekka Savola 2002-04-20 15:21:10 EDT

sysctl -e feature was implemented in procps:

* Fri Mar 23 2001 Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com>

- add a '-e' to sysctl to ignore errors (#31852)

Should initscrips Require a recent enough procps as sysctl -e is being used there?

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2005-09-29 15:52:14 EDT

Closing bugs on older, no longer supported, releases. Apologies for any lack of
response.

Realistically, any version of procps these days will be ok.
