I'm not sure about putting this in /run for a couple of reasons: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The contents of this file is a setting, like /etc/conf.d/hostname, which |
| 27 |
will be set by the user. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
The other reason is, I don't know enough about containers to know if |
| 30 |
they will have a separate /run from the host. |
