Re: Have s6-svscan send SIGTERM to one logger

[Paul Sopka]

 If this is not the main supervision tree, there is no reason for you
to use the fifo trick and have the s6-svscan log to something under
itself.
 Start the inner s6-svscan as a regular service, with a logger that is

supervised by the *outer* supervision tree.

This is what I did before, but in an effort to make the "sub-supervision-tree" independent of whatever init-system/service manager is used for the main tree,

I tried what I described.

Since there is no elegant solution to this,
I will resort to do as you suggest.

A second application for this fifo trick is to have a supervision tree
launched as the child of a graphical session, e.g. a wayland compositor,
to start things like a notification daemon or wallpaper software,
requiring the wayland compositor (and e.g. ${WAYLAND_DISPLAY}) to be set up.
For this application, ist what I proposed the "least bad solution"?

Thank you and have a nice evening

Paul
