[vbox-dev] Linux, systemd and symbolic links

Dear All,

Excuse me setting a bad example here by cross-posting to two lists.  I 
have a request to anyone there using a Linux system running systemd 
(host, guest, no matter) with a bit of time to do a quick check.  I 
think that on systems running systemd, /sbin/init (if it exists at all) 
is always a symbolic link with "systemd" in the target.  Would you be 
able to give me feedback for any Linux systems you have readily 
available running systemd if this is indeed the case, and if so what the 
link target is?  Obviously no need to give identical feedback to what 
someone else has already given (for example, on my Ubuntu 15.10 host, 
"/sbin/init" points to "/lib/systemd/systemd": I don't need any more 
feedback for Ubuntu 15.10 unless you find that it is different on your 
system).

Many thanks!

Regards,

Michael
