I'm curious what is the logic for having two separate directories one
named "libexec" and the other named "bin"?
From porthier(7):
libexec/ system daemons & system utilities
(executed by
other programs)
Also noteworthy is that "libexec" is a UNIX/BSD standard, and that it
isn't in the Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS). Thus, on some
distributions (e.g. RedHat) you'll find the programs in their upstream
location of "libexec" and on other distributions (e.g. Debian) you'll
find the programs randomized between "lib/$name" and "sbin". Quite
intriguing...
If you're into that sort of thing, you can also find out the
differences between "sbin" and "bin". Or "/usr" and "/usr/local".
