As I mentioned in a previous message, I don't know what it would find. At
init level 1, none of those things are running. A "ps -ef" shows only the
bare-bones processes running needed to make it a running machine. :-)
Will the above command reveal something that "lsof /var" would not? (Doing
that command shows nothing holding anything open on that directory when in
init level 1.)
