That’s not quite true though (it’s a slot in the <service> class,
technically.)
I agree that “running value” is a confusing phrase. That’s why I wrote
that it’s a PID most of the time, hoping that this would clarify it.

Yeah, it’s really just a PID:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ sudo herd status nscd
Status of nscd:
It is started.
Running value is 446.
It is enabled.
Provides (nscd).
Requires (user-processes).
Conflicts with ().
Will be respawned.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
We’ve just received new translations, so let’s see if that looks good.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
