On my system: $ dlocate /sbin/init sysvinit-core: /sbin/init $ cat /proc/1/comm init So the former command produces recognizably useful information, whereas the latter does not. I can't be sure what the latter command would output on a different system, not having tested it - but since AFAIK the standard practice is to launch the init system via /sbin/init (symlinked to something else if necessary) regardless, I would expect the command to be 'init' in all cases. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
