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.
