svscan ``scans'' the directory that you give it for other directories.
For each directory it finds, it spawns a supervise process that
monitors the service defined in the run file found in that directory.
If a supervise process (which monitors a service) dies for some odd
reason it will restart another supervise process on that directory to
keep the service running. That's all it does, plain and simple.
