The run and log/run scripts are completely distinct.  The run script is
for exec'ing the actual supervised process, and the log/run script is
for exec'ing the corresponding svlogd process.

Yes: log/main/

Usually the log/run script creates it if it doesn't exist.

Pretty much all of my services use this same log/run script:

#!/bin/sh
set -e
LOG=$(readlink -f ./main)
test -d "$LOG" || mkdir -p -m0750 "$LOG"
exec svlogd -tt "$LOG"

jamie.
