Success with vsftpd-log.
I now understand that it ties the -srv and -log services together into a bundle, and you can refer to the whole as vsftpd
root@init-diversity:~# s6-rc stop vsftpd
root@init-diversity:~# s6-rc start vsftpd
root@init-diversity:~# ps ax | grep ftp

The daemon vsftpd is running , and there is an s6-log running for it.
What was the problem?
Quite esoteric… my copy of the run file for vsftpd-log had some strange unprintable characters inthe importas line.

That took some time to find.
b nul fs instead of "
but they both print as quote??
Some copy/paste problem I imagine.
So now when I list bundles
$ s6-rc-db list bundles
...
vsftpd
...
I get vsftpd ( among others),
but if I list longruns
$s6-rc-db list longruns
...
vsftpd-log
vsftpd-srv
...
I get the log and server daemons separately.
The s6-rc Service Manager does not list the bundle, only the individual daemons.
I think it is time for a summary of s6 with s6-rc, and then a move on
to s6 with s6-66.
