Doing that will always get you into trouble. init.d scripts are always 
designed to terminate quickly. That's exactly the opposite of what you 
want. Any program which you exec from a supervise run script is expected 
to keep running until you send it a signal asking for it to stop.

You will need to look through /etc/rc.d/init.d/cpuspeed and find out what 
commands it calls, and find a way to call the same command in a way where 
the command will not terminate (e.g. don't run it in the background, or 
run it with an argument which tells it to run in the foreground).

[Try:

exec /usr/sbin/cpuspeed

Or just use a symlink to /usr/sbin/cpuspeed as your /service/cpuspeed/run.
