    /run tends to be ramdisk, and cleared on every boot.
    I don't understand why you'd have any kind of executable there.
    It belongs in /lib, I think.

    The files in /run would hold the ICMPv6 options in that design. The query tool would go to /usr/bin. I think the word "binary" might have thrown you off ;-).
