Since Robert did now tell us HOW he installed Daemontools into the system -- thats all guessing.

Certainly, daemontools/supervise are not 'another replacement for init scripts' -- though some people
tweaked them to do so. 
In fact, DJB's daemontools were some how pioneering the idea of a service (launchd, systemd ....) though no
to be event-triggered.

Thus, what we need is  detailed description, how to set up daemontools under OpenSuSE 12.1 -- this would help
everybody. 
If you can contribute to this, please let us know. Otherwise, I need to have a look.

regards.
