28<para>By default Psmisc's <userinput>pidof</userinput> program isn't installed.
29Generally, this isn't a problem because we later install the Sysvinit package,
30which provides a better <userinput>pidof</userinput> program. But if you're not
31going to use Sysvinit, you should complete the installation of Psmisc by
32creating the following symlink:</para>

34<para><screen><userinput>ln -s killall /bin/pidof</userinput></screen></para>
