what keeps deleting files and directories under /var/run? Having them deleted is extremely annoying because after a reboot, things are suddenly broken because services don´t start.
Assuming that this is a CentOS 7 system, /var/run is just a link to /run, which is a tmpfs filesystem. No files there survive a reboot.m
If you need directories to be automatically created, you’ll need to use systemd-tmpfiles. Basically, the packages put files in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/, and you’d add your own in /etc/tmpfiles.d/.
For example, fail2ban has:
$ cat /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/fail2ban.conf D /var/run/fail2ban 0755 root root -
Read the ‘tmpfiles.d’ man page for more details.
