The log directory may still get used, depending upon the log4j settings.

(An example would be the HDFS audit log.)

> In {{hadoop_daemon_handler}}, it calls {{hadoop_verify_logdir}} even for the "default" case which calls {{hadoop_start_daemon}}. {{daemon_outfile}} which specifies the log location isn't even used here, since the command is being started in the foreground.
> I think we can push the {{hadoop_verify_logdir}} call down into {{hadoop_start_daemon_wrapper}} instead, which does use the outfile.
