Hi there,
After reading through the docs for runit 1.6, I'm looking for some
thoughts on how /etc/sv relates to /var/service and
/etc/runit/runsvdir/current (the former the default for 'sv', the
latter the default for 'runsvchdir').
As best as I can figure, /var/service should be a symlink to
/etc/runit/runsvdir/current, and nothing really looks at /etc/sv -- so
it might just as well be something like /etc/runit/runsvdir/available
(with symlinks from current to ../available/<service> for those
services we want active).
Thanks for your comments,
-- Lars

Yes, this is documented in
http://smarden.org/runit/runlevels.html#prepare
Note, this is optional.

Sure, it might also be /my/collection/of/service/directories/. I chose
/etc/sv/ though.
