The base process in linux is named init and has the PID 1
If you are on Linux, you can install the command pstree to have a tree view of the process, or using the command ps -eF. See also Wikipedia: init
bash is probably (depending on your distribution) in /bin/bash or /usr/bin/bash
To identify the path of a command an easy thing to use is the command:
type bash
#you can also usee (but not recommanded)
whereis bash
command -v bash
It will read your path (or try to guess) and gives you several path where you can find the file bash

/usr/bin/bashis not that uncommon (Arch Linux for example), but yes, it depends on the distribution.

To find out the full path you can also run 'which bash'. That should show the path that will be executed when you run just 'bash'

We shouldn't be recommending the use ofwhichorwhereis. If you're using Bash it should betype. unix.stackexchange.com/questions/85249/…
