The s6 docs say ./data/check is thw default. We had some discussions
around the default location and decided that it was better to use data
thab to overload the main service dir more. If it's not searching data
by default, that's a bug.

runit. The official method for readiness is to emit a line on the
notification fd. Ideally it is done via the program itself but if not,
s6-notifyoncheck provides a helpful shim since the alternative of
writing check logic into run scripts is a pain in the butt.

If your service can't do it internaly, yes.

It should be included as part of the general payload set that gets
copied with data/
