Hum, if you remove the "or die" part, It means that if the script
fails to read configuration file, it will continue to run the scripts.

This is not acceptable since scripts requires many informations
located in the conffile.

If you have problems with this, check the my $conffile value.

In the future, the make update-conf will update $conffile in each sv_*
script to the correct value.

I'm currently workings on the scripts, I will commit modifications
very very soon.
