Why not /var/log? /etc/ isn't the place for this kind of stuff, surely.
True - though we'd have to code different behaviour when running as an
unprivileged user. Shouldn't complicate things too much i guess.
(Putting them in their own directory is nice, though - that way we
can
use tmpwatch to clean them up ... logrotate isn't really suitable)
Yep, I also explicitly did *not* follow the Xen insanity of including the
PID in the filename. So we have a finite number of logs files instead of
ever growing set
