If your service writes logs and/or diagnotics message to stdout and
stderr, you need a log service.

Runit required log services

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

Referring to http://smarden.org/runit/runscripts.html , some of the run
scripts are marked "This service needs a log service to be set up", and
others aren't. When making my own run scripts, how do I know whether
the daemon requires a log service?

Thanks,
