I was misremembering and thought s6-log processed the command string itself but used libexecline to teach it how, similar to s6-ftrig-listen's dependency.
Looking a bit closer, the one that's going to break the hardest for people using s6 solely as a supervisor is s6-notifyoncheck since you can inline a check program with the -c option. I'm not sure how many people go that route who aren't already going to have execline installed, but it's something that will definitely cause some ill will. > > "Recommends" is a mistake.
