<para>By default, Psmisc's <command>pidof</command> program is not
installed. This usually is not a problem because it is installed later
in the Sysvinit package, which provides a better
<command>pidof</command> program. If Sysvinit will not be used for a
particular system, complete the installation of Psmisc by creating the
following symlink:</para>
