Hmm. What platform are you running on? The "-n" is an BSD vs. Sys V
thing, and is ugly, but won't prevent the script from working. I don't
know where you got /var/qmail/run/svscan.pid from, though, because the
script in LWQ uses /var/run/svscan.pid. But even that's not enough to
cause the following:
>supervise: fatal: unable to acquire qmail-send/supervise/lock: access denied
>supervise: fatal: unable to acquire log/supervise/lock: access denied
>supervise: fatal: unable to acquire qmail-smtpd/supervise/lock: access denied

What does the following show:
ls -lR /var/qmail/supervise
ls -ld / /var /var/qmail /var/qmail/supervise

It monitors the service directory and runs "supervise" on services as
needed.

LWQ has a section on daemontool which contains a link to the on-line
documentation:
