Hi Steve,
Does the *user* need to code execline scripts, or is it just
something the program does? If the former, then make a point that one
doesn't need to use execline for s6-rc to be a very powerful startup
system.
No the user doesn't need to write execline scripts. The following
equally applies to s6-rc.
Refer to:https://skarnet.org/software/s6/overview.html
for:
"execline makes it natural to handle long command lines made of massive
amounts of chain loading. This is by no means mandatory, though: a run
script can be any executable file you want, provided that running it
eventually results in a long-lived process with the same PID."
Regarding creating a s6 subdir of bin. I have some 1325 applications
(FreeBSD people call them ports), only 1 has a separate directory under bin.
