[Bug 1332362] [NEW] procps is permanently running

[Sworddragon]

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 dev with procps 1:3.3.9-1ubuntu5 and
/etc/sysctl.d/README says "After making any changes, please run "service
procps start"". But executing this shows that procps is already running:

sworddragon at ubuntu:~$ sudo service procps start
start: Job is already running: procps
