This is fungalnet with a different email I am not 100% sure if we are talking about the same things, but here some of the fun we are having with Eric Vidal's 66 at obarun and void:
Tree root is a tree of services, we can have many trees. Each service has its own log. The 66-inservice -p14 dhcpcd command gives the last 14 lines of the log of the service. Except for oneshot services and tty every service supervised by s6 gets its own log: Here is a sample output: (ip4/6 addresses scrambled) oba@runner ~ % sudo 66-intree -zg root Name : root Initialized : yes Enabled : yes Starts after : None Current : yes Allowed : root Symlinks : svc->source db->source Contents : / ├─(1165,Enabled,classic) ntpd-log ├─(1168,Enabled,classic) ntpd ├─(1172,Enabled,classic) dhcpcd-log ├─(1169,Enabled,classic) tty@tty2 ├─(1171,Enabled,classic) tty@tty1 └─(1173,Enabled,classic) dhcpcd oba@runner ~ % sudo 66-inservice -v2 -p14 dhcpcd Name : dhcpcd Version : 0.2.0 In tree : root Status : enabled, up (pid 1173) 38887 seconds Type : classic Description : dhcpcd daemon Source : /usr/lib/66/service/dhcpcd Live : /run/66/scandir/0/dhcpcd Dependencies : dhcpcd-log External dependencies : None Optional dependencies : None Start script : execl-cmdline -s { dhcpcd ${cmd_args} -f ${conf_dir}/${conf_file} } Stop script : execl-cmdline -s { dhcpcd ${cmd_args_stop} } Environment source : /etc/66/conf/dhcpcd/0.2.0 Environment file : cmd_args=!-B cmd_args_stop=!-x conf_dir=!/etc conf_file=!dhcpcd.conf Log name : dhcpcd-log Log destination : /var/log/66/dhcpcd Log file : 2020-06-13 21:17:16.955071365 eth0: fe80::fgf0:faff:fea4:4331 is unreachable 2020-06-13 21:17:17.617629075 eth0: fe80::fgf0:faff:fea4:4331 is reachable again 2020-06-13 21:17:17.872363985 eth0: soliciting an IPv6 router 2020-06-13 21:17:25.755133469 eth0: fe80::fgf0:faff:fea4:4331 is unreachable 2020-06-13 21:17:26.729551295 eth0: soliciting an IPv6 router 2020-06-13 21:17:26.737844183 eth0: fe80::fgf0:faff:fea4:4331 is reachable again 2020-06-13 21:36:32.380456414 eth0: fe80::fgf0:faff:fea4:4331: no longer a default router 2020-06-13 21:36:32.380766427 eth0: deleting address 2v02:2149:862f:9d00:1a03:73ff:fe2b:30de/64 2020-06-13 21:36:32.381024234 eth0: deleting route to 2v02:2149:862f:9d00::/64 2020-06-13 21:36:32.381127805 eth0: deleting default route via fv80::ce03:faff:fea4:4331 2020-06-13 21:36:34.051845089 eth0: adding address 2v02:2149:862f:9d00:1a03:73ff:fe2b:30de/64 2020-06-13 21:36:34.052160364 eth0: adding route to 2v02:2149:862f:9d00::/64 2020-06-13 21:36:34.083391650 eth0: adding default route via fe80::ce03:faff:fea4:4331 log files stored in those /var/log/xx/ directories go by the default name "current". There is also a /run/66/log/0/current of the booting steps log with adjustable verbosity. 66 just sets things up for s6 to do all the work.
