i suggest you check out listen(8); in particular, the -d and -t
options should help you out. you can create a directory of your
own and just specify that in the -d or -t arguements.

assuming i've created /usr/foo/bin/rc/my.services and myecho is
an executable file (script or binary) that does what you want, i
think the steps you're looking for are these:
1)	create /bin/my.services/tcp1111 - this should be either an
	executable shell script like tcp7, substituting myecho for
	cat, or you could just 'cp myecho tcp7'.
2)	start listen - 'aux/listen -d /bin/my.services'

that's it, if i understand your question correctly. i'd point
out that each of these servers are, technically, a "user-level
server process". if, for some reason, you really don't want to
use listen, you don't have to. i'd urge you to reconsider, but
look at /bin/ip/*d for examples.
