libps is a Hurd-specific interface. But I imagine the things sysvinit would care about are fairly generic notions. Can you enumerate them? > The other problem is that on the Hurd there is already /hurd/init > that uses pid 1 This should not be a problem. Any signals sent to init get passed down to its child. Why else do you care who has PID 1? sysvinit replaces /libexec/runsystem, not /hurd/init.
