You sure you want to do that too? :)
[root at rawfedora ~]# ls -la /sbin/pidof
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2008-03-26 13:52 /sbin/pidof -> killall5
Nevermind the historical reasons psmisc/sysvinit-tools pidof has the symlink to killall5 or whatever
Debian has it even worse ---> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2008-04-04 16:32 /bin/pidof -> ../sbin/killall5
Fun :-)
