And it appears to be compatible, indeed, as long as s6-log is invoked with the 't' directive (prepend timestamp in TAI64N format), to match the logging file format expected by follow-log-directories, as stated in its documentation. Also, note that follow-log-directories is a daemon, so it will keep running and outputting log lines until killed, once it catches up with the logging directory. TAI64N timestamps are not decoded, so if you want them in human-readable format, pipe its standard output to s6-tai64nlocal. You might also want to separate follow-log-directories's standard output stream from its standard error stream, since the program is somewhat chatty during catch-ups and during logdir rotations. G.
