[Buildroot] How to run stysctl at system startup?

[Carlos Santos]

Hello,

The procps-ng package does not install a script at /etc/init.d to run

    sysctl --system

Is this purposeful? I can circumvent the problem by means of an init scrip
in my $(BR2_ROOTFS_OVERLAY)/etc/init.d/ but it would be nice to have that
script provided by default.

FWIW, Busybox also provides a sysctl utility, which is enabled in our
default Busybox configuration.

Best regards,
