Well this is what we have. Firstly we manually started it so lets kill it:

$ ps ax | grep scorecard
  731 ?        S      0:11 runsv scorecard_cricket_scores_importer
 2980 ?        Sl     0:34 services/scorecard_cricket_scores_importer.rb


16599 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep scorecard
$ kill -9 2980
$ ps ax | grep scorecard
  731 ?        S      0:11 runsv scorecard_cricket_scores_importer
16671 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep scorecard

The process has gone and will not be restarted no matter how long you wait.
So we try and start it with sv:

$ sv start ./service/scorecard_cricket_scores_importer/
timeout: down: ./service/scorecard_cricket_scores_importer/: 1s, normally
up, want up
$ ps ax | grep scorecard
  731 ?        S      0:11 runsv scorecard_cricket_scores_importer
16868 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep scorecard

Still not started. So we try it manually:

$ ./service/scorecard_cricket_scores_importer/run &
[1] 16929
$ ps ax | grep scorecard
  731 ?        S      0:12 runsv scorecard_cricket_scores_importer
16929 pts/0    Sl     0:10 services/scorecard_cricket_scores_importer.rb


18896 pts/0    R+     0:00 grep scorecard
$

And it keeps running without any problems for as long as you let it

There are no errors in the logs and nothing reported in:

runsvdir -P /etc/service log:
..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Is there some other runit log that I should look into?
