I have /usr/sbin/modem-manager started from somewhere. I know not where and I know not why. I don't want it not be - I have no use for this damn winmodem anyway. When I kill it, it restarts.
Maybe "ps afx | less" can show who is the parent.
BTDT - first thing I thought of. Its PID is "1"
Any process whose parent is I (init) was either started directly by init, was the result of a (or a chain of) exec call(s) by a process started by init or one whose actual (non-init) parent exited before its child (init inherits all processes when their parent process dies). (That's slightly inaccurate in that a process is created in exactly one way: the fork(2) system call. Any process may exec(2) another program and that program may do the same, and on and on, indefinitely. Such a chain of programs each in turn execute in the same process.)
