Thank you for this. It is this latter aspect of setting up the sockets which I'm
struggling with. You mention that s6 tools can do this. Would I be right to
presume this could be setup in the runit run script in some other way without
s6?
The Void linux manual shows gpg-agent running as an example, but they don't show
the run script, so I don't know how they set it up.
https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/services/user-services.html
Any examples or pointers would be appreciated.

This is a pity as gpg-agent is a long running process which is the sort of thing
you would want to run under supervision.
I guess it is not possible to supervise a process if the rebel thing does not
want to be supervised?
