Thanks for doing the research on this. I ran into the problem right  
before going to bed.
I was unaware that bash had a kill builtin.

The problem I ran into:
Initng uses /bin/kill to do some things, because it's supposedly  
faster than just letting it search the paths. (I'm not here to argue  
the point of speed or not)
And so, since it needs /bin/kill and there wasn't any /bin/kill I was  
somewhat concerned. An easy fix is also to just use the builtin. I  
should submit a bug to the initng people so they know about this, and  
can code around it.

I agree that the procps kill would be a good idear now ;)
