what do you mean by "all daemon-tools daemons"?
I have nothing in the directory but the subdir that contains the "run"
file and squeak image/changes/sources files.

I can see "service" apps running in ps ax, but no squeak running. I
basically copied your script and placed it in a file called "run" the
subdir as you state below:
