# The uptimed daemon can create its own PID file, but it doesn't know
# how to drop privileges. On the other hand, if we run it as a
# restricted user under start-stop-daemon, the PID file it creates
# will therefore be owned by a non-root user, and that poses a
# security risk. To avoid the issue entirely, we run the daemon in the
# foreground, and then use command_background=true to let OpenRC
# handle the PID file.
