I posted this script to dns@lists.cr.yp.to. A thread about, among
other things, wether or not it is "A Good Thing" to run svscan
from a SysV style init script occured. The thread can be read on

http://id.wustl.edu/cgi-ez/ezmlm-cgi?2:sss:4231:200010:hfjgekiaadknikaacgme#b

On http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/svscan.html you can find a hint on
how to run svscan by adding an inittab entry.

Decide for yourself.
