A Prayer for Unix Processes (A Reference for the Rest of Us)
by Anomie

Our father, who art in /sbin,
init is thy name.
Thy PID is 1;
Thy children run
In user space as they do in kernel.
Give us this day our daily RAM
And forgive us our interrupts
As we are nice to those who interrupt us.
Lead us not into uncaught exception
And deliver us from SIGKILL
For thine is the System
And thou art the saviour
For ever and ever - until we upgrade yer!

(Inspired by Robert Love, 'Linux Kernel Development', p.29: "All processes are descendants of the init process, whose PID is one").

I should use that as the prayer next time I have to meet with the hypocrites.

(Nothing on religion, I'm talking about a very specific small group I'm forced to interact with.)
