Thanks. Would it made sense to symlink /var/run -> /run so we don't
end up with stable entries in /var/run directory? Some of my init
scripts appear to reported as "crashed" whereas the process is running
just fine. I suspect this is because a stale entry is in /var/run
directory (or /run I am not sure)
