Best Answer

The Linux kernel does not have a process id (also called pid). Process 1 is almost always the process scheduler, init. PIDs are assigned to each subsequent process that is started and they will usually vary. Do not remove init, doing so would likely have catastrophic consequences, a kernel panic for instance.

Unless you particularly enjoy using the crash utility.

$ man crash
