That's the svscan documentation, not tcpserver. svscan is from
daemontools, tcpserver is from ucspi-tcp.

You seem to be confused. You create a directory for your service, with
a run script, a log subdir, a log/run script, etc. Put this wherever
you like -- /var/service/<servicename> or whatever. Then you sumlink
this directory into the directory you're running svscan in (typically
/service/):
cd /service
ln -s /var/service/foo .
svscan will then start the appropriate supervise processes.
If you're confused about this, do your installation according to "Life
with qmail" at www.lifewithqmail.org -- follow it to the letter, and
you'll have a working qmail setup in an hour.
