The last "thread" I open for this night. I promise.

I currently have set up logging in the following way:

System supervision tree logs to to /var/log/${daemon}

User supervision tree logs got to /var/log/${USER}/${daemon}


Currently, the logging dir is hardcoded in all s6-log daemons. I want to 
change that.

Concerning the user tree loggers, this is easy, the system service 
starting the user tree just sets an environment variable all user tree 
s6-log daemons can use.

Concerning the system tree loggers, my first idea is to set an 
environment variable somewhere in the scripts s6-linux-init provides.

Is this even possible?

What would be the best place to do this?

Is there a better alternative?


Generally, I would be interested hear what you think about my choice of 
logging directories.


Paul
