stuff keeps creating /.cache #541
Description
i know this isn't exactly dinit's fault, but some daemons create .cache in / and its really annoying, i have a lot of random services and daemons and they do this, but is there a way to stop them from making /.cache or put it somewhere else?
it doesn't happen with other init systems like systemd or openrc

All I can suggest is that maybe these daemons are trying to put something under $HOME or $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, or some other location specified by an environment variable, and that variable isn't being set. Perhaps try
load-options: export-passwd-varsin the service description file.
