Subject: [PATCH] Create /var/log/varaverk/ on cron rebuild
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

/var/log/ is RAM-based on unRAID — wiped on reboot. Creating the log
directory in vv_cron_rebuild() ensures it exists before the first cron
job fires, without needing a separate boot script.
