Then, why not create it and show it works? If it fails, you have a good
reason, why not do it. Otherwise its feasibility is proved.

But I've a question on it: How can I use it? How can I set up /run before
init runs the init script that is responsible for it? This script should
be resistant to multiple start calls.

Bye, Jörg.
