The 3.07 release of SysV init mostly introduces fixes and improvements for the killall5 and pidof programs. (These are actually the same program, but are invoked with two different names, which result in different behaviour. The main highlights in this release are:

Fixed killall5 so that processes in the omit list are not sent any signals, including SIGSTOP.

Fixed usage message for killall5 to be more accurate.

pidof was not returning PIDs of programs which were launched using a symbolic link. This has been fixed so programs run from a symbolic link show up in process lists.
