One thing I've just found out:

To run daemontools *and* run it at the same time (on Linux) it is
necessary to change the ID at the beginning of the line in inittab, e.g.:

# daemontools
SV:123456:respawn:/command/svscanboot

# runit
SX:123456:respawn:/sbin/runsvdir-start

I initially tried this with both lines starting with "SV" and only
daemontools ran.
