Best place for per-daemon log files?

Hi all,

I'm writing a document on runit for a normal user instead of root:

https://troubleshooters.com/linux/init/normal_user_runit.htm

It's still under construction.

The document needs a section on logging, and I'd like to have each
daemon have its own log. So far, following in the djb tradition, I have
the log file in:

$HOME/service_gui/daemonname/log/logs

The runit docs suggest something different, and several people have
suggested yet more ideas. All of this is a matter of custom, not
function, but I'd still like to make it as relevant as possible.

So where do all of you think the logs belong for a runsvdir run as a
normal user (slitt in this case)?

Thanks,

SteveT
