@James, you suggestion worked. Note that I dropped the "env UPSTART_EVENTS=". Here is the job definition I used.
# grep -v "#" /etc/init/procps.conf description "set sysctls from /etc/sysctl.conf" instance $UPSTART_EVENTS start on virtual-filesystems or stopped networking task script cat /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf /etc/sysctl.conf | sysctl -p - end script By the way, that also fixes LP: #690433.
