# this will create the sysctl fragment if it dosn;t exist or changes
# If the resource changes i.e. the first time its written or you change the value
# sysctl -p will be called to write al the sysctl values
# however a module from the forge may be better i have used the following in the past
# https://forge.puppet.com/thias/sysctl
# however that is old and the following newer one may be better
# https://forge.puppet.com/herculesteam/augeasproviders_sysctl
