4<para>Install Psmisc by running the following commands:</para>

6<para><screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/ &amp;&amp;</userinput>
7<userinput>make &amp;&amp;</userinput>

10<para>psmisc installs the
11<filename>/usr/share/man/man1/pidof.1</filename> man page, but psmisc's
12pidof program isn't installed by default. Generally that isn't a problem
13because we install the sysvinit package later on which provides us with
14a better pidof program.</para>
15
16<para>It's up to you now to decide if you are going to use the sysvinit
17package which provides a pidof program, or not. If you are going to, you
18should remove psmisc's pidof man page by running:</para>
19
20<para><screen><userinput>rm /usr/share/man/man1/pidof.1</userinput></screen></para>
21
22<para>If you're not going to use sysvinit, you should complete this
23package's installation by creating the <filename>/bin/pidof</filename>
24symlink by running:</para>
25
26<para><screen><userinput>cd /bin</userinput>
27<userinput>ln -s killall pidof</userinput></screen></para>
