May I suggest to leave in "log" in here. Traditionally, logfiles are stored in /var/log. No real need to deviate from that, I think? /var/log/MonetDB5 would be ok, I guess.
You're confusing logs and logs. The logs traditionally in /var/log are of a totally different order from the write-ahead logs in MonetDB. MonetDB log's are an integral part of the database and not an optional add-on like the logs in /var/log. Those latter logs are useful to see what has happened, but they are not meant to secure transactions. The contents of /var/log can be deleted with impunity, but that is not the case for the write-ahead logs of MonetDB.

Pidfiles are traditionally stored in /var/run. I think this is not a good idea.
Note that both changes don't make "slotting" of monetdb any more possible than it is now.
