+Service directory
+-----------------
+
+Create /service directory where services to be run are linked.
+
+mkdir /service
+
+Running daemontools
+-------------------
+
+svscanboot starts svscan in the /service directory.
+There are several different ways to run it:
+
+1. Add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local
+
+if [ -x /usr/sbin/svscanboot ]; then
+ echo "Starting svscanboot"
+ /usr/sbin/svscanboot &
+fi
+
+OR
+
+2. Add the following to the end of /etc/inittab
+
+SV:12345:respawn:/usr/sbin/svscanboot
+
+After doing either of the above, restart your system and check
+that the svscan command is running.
+
+The difference between the rc.local and inittab versions is that
+the inittab version is supervised by init, ie, in case svscan
+dies due to some reason, init can restart it.
