I have emerged djbdns/daemontools and baselayout-1.12.0_pre10-r1 (~x86). I have added the startup script to the "default" runlevel with "rc-update add svscan". When I start up my PC, the "supervise" and "dnscache" processes are not running. I am able to get them to run by doing "/etc/init.d/svscan start". I have tried setting RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP to "yes" and "no" in /etc/conf.d/rc and get the same results. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge baselayout-1.12.0_pre10-r1 2. Emerge and install djbdns 3. Reboot
Created attachment 74383 [details] New init script for svscan
Reporter, please test this new init script - it should work for all baselayout versions.
Hello, I had the same problem. I have been killing myself over this for the last few days. I was thinking of putting in a bug report but I felt like I couldn't give enough information as I wasn't sure what was causing the problem. I ran into this bug and tried the init script attached, it fixed the problem, and now I can start up svscan from the init script. The default init script did not work for me.

Fixed in daemontools-0.76-r5
