Contribute

If you want to contribute service directories or source directories there are a couple of things to consider:

longruns should always end with -srv, a longrun for a deaemon named @exampled@ should be called @exampled@-srv. This is required since system-ml and user-ml produce a corresponding @exampled@-log logging service as well as a @exampled@ bundle, which can be used to start and stop both the service and its logger.
All scripts are to be written in the execline language.
Even though oneshot services are interpreted as execline by default, add a shebang, so that this is clear to users and the scripts can be used outside of s6-rc without any effort.
Do not add complex configuration. Services should "configured" by copying the source directory and changing the script. It is impossible to account for all useful configuration options in even the most elaborate Key=value config file. Trying to do so does only decrease the readibility and simplicity of the service script by a lot.

Config files

If a script has to do something based on a configuration file, it should behave as follows:

This usually results in the following contraption:

...
pipeline { cat /path/to/config }
pipeline {
	sed
		-e "/^#/d"
		-e "s/^[[:blank:]]*//g"
		-e "s/[[:blank:]]*$//g"
		-e "/^$/d"
}
forstdin
...
