  41. <para>By default, Psmisc's <command>pidof</command> program is not
  42. installed. This usually is not a problem because it is installed later
  43. in the Sysvinit package, which provides a better
  44. <command>pidof</command> program. If Sysvinit will not be used for a
  45. particular system, complete the installation of Psmisc by first moving
  46. the <command>killall</command> to the correct location, as specified by the
  47. FHS, then create a symlink to it:</para>
