very likely; since dbus, elogind and login managers are started at the
same time, I'd expect elogind check at least to fail once at boot.

Humm, I'd expect this on Debian too, but it's a race so it could be
intermittent

cat /etc/service/elogind/check 
#!/bin/sh

# race: greyed buttons on lightdm/sddm
# make sure that elogind can see the login and that will open a session for the user
loginctl show-seat seat0 >/dev/null && exit 0
exit 1

I guess I should silence stderr instead of stdout (or both)?
Anyway, unless I'm missing something, it's a minor bug in
runit-services.

Best,
Lorenzo
