Runit logging:
socklog
* syslogd replacement
* gets messages sent via syslog() (into /dev/log)
svlogd
* builtin log rotation
* needs to be setup for each service (/etc/runit/sv/<service>/log/run)
`exec chpst -u log svlogd -tt /var/log/<service>`
$ sudo mkdir /var/log/<service>
$ sudo chown -R :log /var/log/<service>
$ sudo chmod g+w /var/log/<service>
runsvdir
* sends its stdout to /dev/console
* sends its stderr to its own command line (ps aux | grep runsvdir)
runsv
* if <service>/log exists, redirects service's stdout to logger's stdin
* by default, runsv's stderr, stdout (and stdin?) are redirected to /dev/console
