+command="/usr/sbin/uptimed"
+command_user="uptimed"
+
+# 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.
