Yes. The use of a file called "down" to tell the system not to run the process, and also the use of a script called "down" to perform an action at the appropriate time, will be holy hell to document, even if theoretically they cannot both happen in the same script directory.
I don't think so. The confusion happened here because we're talking in a vacuum; when you use the tool, it's clear enough. You'll see.
Also, don't be sure that they can't happen in the same script directory. LittKit uses daemontools-style "down" files for both oneshots and longruns, and there are probably other workarounds out there that do the same thing. They'll all break upon the introduction of a script called "down".
They won't with s6-rc. A definition directory is not a service directory. Your scripts will work, don't worry. -- Laurent
