Well, to answer your questions, we'd have to know more details about
your setup and what exactly you are doing.
Are you using a distribution? Which one? How are you launching the
s6 supervision tree: is it the first thing when you boot (i.e. you're
using s6-linux-init)? Is it a part of your standard distribution boot
sequence, in which case you likely already have a service manager?
What role do you want s6 to play here?
