It is possible that the programs being spawned are exiting, in which
case supervise will start another copy. This could be due to any
number of things. For example, if it is unable to lock the directory it
will die and then start another. Unless you start svscan from the
command line you will probably not see these error message since they
get sent to stdout/stderr. One thing you could do is run "ps -ef" and
watch to see if your daemons such as dnscache, tinydns, qmail-send are
already running before starting svscan. Launch svscan from the command
line and not a script, etc... If they are already running it is likely
that another copy is trying to start up ad infinitum.
