[erlang-questions] Pipes - systemd

[Technion]

That's correct for me - given it wasn't blindingly obvious how to change this in rebar3 (ie, under either the "getting started" or "configuration" section of documentation), it quickly becomes one of those "do I really want to change this and deal with being non-standard"? Those sorts of situations generally outweigh filesystem standards that a particular product may or may not use.

Yea, I assume people are using /tmp because rebar 2.x and relx (based on
the script from rebar 2.x) uses /tmp in the release start script.

I am going to update the relx script to use /var/run by default, which
will also update rebar3.
