granted, due to s/n also abrivs 'serial number'.

next time i will use the other abriv - s2n. :-)

ok. i do not use either. next time i will try and not presume. ;-)

which? '/etc/bashrc' or '/etc/skel/.bashrc'?

i would think it to be former than latter. strange that if it is
either, it has not been noticed before now.

well now, that is a rather boastful statement to make. even for
you. ;-)

in fact, i would go so far as to say that a few system processes
will have same pid from one start up to another, much less a user
starting a desktop having the same numbers.

i would say that maybe the 1st 100 or 200 system processes listed
_might_ have the same pid, but there will be very few after that.

i base this on way pids are assigned, time taken to start processes,
time allotted to the processes, and a whole lot of other variables
that i do not recall.

it has been a long time passed when i first read about pid numbers
and how they are assigned to a process. and, i am talking about
sometime back in the 80's.

just by listing the first 200 lines of different start ups, one
will/should very quickly see a difference. and, note that i use
word _line_, because the 1st couple hundred lines are not in a
sequential order because there are processes that start and end
during system start up, as well as with a user start up.

also, understand that i am not, nor have i intended to infer,
that the *exact* same _process_, including the pid, is restarted,
only that the *processes* on the task bar are _restarted_.

with two exceptions, "firefox's library" and "thunderbird's address
book". they must be restarted manually, which is something that i
have noted when restarting desktop. minor things do not remain in
my 'chemo brain'. ;-)
