Are you sure? Check if you have /sbin/sysctl. If it's there, you're
probably trying to run sysctl as a normal user rather than root.
Since /sbin is not on the default PATH, the Shell won't find it.

Also, do "rpm --verify procps" (as root) and see what it says. This
checks that the procps package which sysctl is part of, is correctly
installed.
