[Box-Admins] squeak.org down

[Ken Causey]

All services start automatically.  For our custom services like all the
Squeak based services we leverage (based on Cees' suggestion if I recall
correctly) the daemontools utilities  (http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html)
which simplifies things considerably and automatically restarts a
process if it exits (This can be handy for quickly rebooting a
problematic Squeak instance, just kill it and svc, one of the
daemontools, starts it right back up.)
