Hi,
        I'm having problems with supervise and I was hoping someone could offer
me some quick advice on how to fix it.  I have a machine where syslogd keeps
dying so I'm attempting to use supervise to control keeping it up.  As root I
created the directory /var/run/syslog and ran

  supervise /var/run/syslog /usr/sbin/syslogd

An instance starts up but then I get a whole screen full of

  syslogd: Already running.

messages.  When I try to kill it with "svc -d /var/run/syslog" or 
"svc -k /var/run/syslog" it looks like it kills that instance but then it 
starts up another and I keep getting the above messages.  The only way I 
found to stop it was to kill the supervise command.  I tried it also with
named and ended up getting about ten instances of named before I killed it.

What am I doing wrong here?  thanks for any help
