OK, you're right. I interpreted it wrongly. :-(

At least The following command will cause the message to appear:
"sysctl -N -a".  I'm pretty sure the -N is not necessary, I didn't
test it.

Remarks:
- it works only one time after a reboot, not sure why
- the command above is used in /etc/bash_completion.d/sysctl
  belonging to bash-completion

/etc/bash_completion.d/sysctl seems to be broken anyway. Completion
of filenames when using option -p does not work, probably b/c it
tries to evaluate the list generated by sysctl -N -a.
