The init process on FreeBSD is a user-level process (as opposed to
a kernel-level process) that, other than having been started by the
kernel
itself as part of system startup, reacts just like any other process on
the system. However if you send init the SIGKILL signal, even as root,
init does not die? Can you please tell me why this is so??
Thanks
Anish.
