Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

CGI-BIN scripts have no need to know anything about init or to see it in ps 
output.

The output of audit2allow does not need to be put directly into the policy, 
you can also change the "allow" key word to "dontaudit" if it seems 
appropriate.  In this situation the program in question does not need such 
access, should not be given such access, and a "dontaudit" rule will remove 
the annoying log entries.
