# ureadahead doesn't act like others daemons:
# it must run in background only with SSD or when it traces the system.
# On HDD il will run in foreground.
# When tracing, it must be stopped a the end of the boot,
# either by passing --timeout or by sending INT or TERM signal.
# So it is not OK to launch it with start-stop-deamon since it
# termination will be interpreted as a crash.
