But what if I need to fallback if the arguments are malformed?
I'd argue this is not a good idea. Arguments to a logging script are not user data, they are admin-controlled data that impacts the working of your system. They should be validated before you run the script. Adding a fallback in the run script itself is defensive programming. If the arguments are malformed, you don't want s6-log to silently use a fallback set. You want s6-log to fail and complain loudly, so you go back and fix the arguments. -- Laurent
