Comment 40 for bug 811441

Newbie here, sorry. This post is regarding comment #9, by Paul Crook.

Firstly, what are the exact command lines to be used?

Secondly, my file system already has a /run directory, populated with sub-directories such as /lock, /mount, and /udev. This is a different set of sub-directories when compared to /var/run.

Given the above, can I really move the latter set of sub-directories (/var/run) over to the former (/run)? Won't I override files or merge sub-directories in a way that can damage my system?

Thank you a lot.
