Auditing systemctl to see which service started a pid [SOLVED]
I found an instance of /usr/bin/sleep running by my root user. Through some detective work, I found that one of my systemd service units calls a script which therein runs /usr/bin/sleep. Is there systemctl function I can use to track a pid back to the unit that initiated it?
