Which init System?

Systemd is the init system used by the great majority of modern Linux 
distributions - certainly is the case with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).

There are various ways (commands) to discover if systemd is the init
system being used on a RHEL system.  So commands that will display 
that information are:

ps  -p  1  -o  comm=                ->  I really like this one

pstree  -p  1

cat   /proc/1/comm

systemctl  --version


Are there any other COMMANDS that will show that systemd is the
init system being used on the system?
