I run it under daemontools, so it is controlled via the same interface
on all my platforms. I run many daemons this way for the consistency
alone. <URL:http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html>

supervise will restart cfservd if it dies. Mine does die inexplicably
from time to time, but it has little effect on production since it's
started again within 5 seconds.

Put this in /service/cfservd/run:

 #!/bin/sh
 exec 2>&1
 exec /usr/local/sbin/cfservd -F

I'd run it with logging enabled too, /service/cfservd/log/run:

 #!/bin/sh
 exec setuidgid nobody multilog t ./main
