daemonize.sh

sudo mkdir /service
sudo cp com.github.mxcl.homebrew.daemontools.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/
sudo chown root:wheel /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.github.mxcl.homebrew.daemontools.plist
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.github.mxcl.homebrew.daemontools.plist

Does this work for you?

Basically, yes.
I want to use this for my blog entry. (url / japanese: http://blog.bobpp.jp/2011/02/mac-homebrew-daemontools.html)

Those are the EXACT same steps I used minus setting permissions. svscanboot did not launch, even when tried manually. However, spawning the svscan /services/service manually DID work. Did you by any chance run into anything like that?

Thanks. Found I was using /services instead of /service. Bah!
