sysctl command

I am not sure if this is the right forum to be asking this question, let me know if its not.

When run sysctl by itself my OpenSUSE 13.1 tells me I need to run the command as super user and that it's located in /usr/sbin/

So when I do a sudo sysctl -a or without the -a and enter in my admin password it comes back any says "sudo: sysctl: command not found".

If I try and run it from the /usr/sbin/ folder I get the same message.

When I do an LS for sysctl I see in /usr/sbin/

I need help figuring out why this command refuses to exist. LOL
