[Bug 1908241] [NEW] README.sysctl refers to "service procps reload", which no longer works

[Pi Delport]

Public bug reported:

/etc/sysctl.d/README.sysctl states:

After making any changes, please run "service procps reload" (or, from
a Debian package maintainer script "deb-systemd-invoke restart procps.service").

However, "service procps reload" no longer works:

$ sudo service procps reload
Usage: /etc/init.d/procps {start|stop|status|restart|try-restart|force-reload}

It looks like the correct command should be "service procps force-
reload"?


Local versions:

Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
procps 2:3.3.16-1ubuntu2

** Affects: procps (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Summary changed:

- sysctl.d/README refers to "service procps reload", which no longer works
