You'd need to be careful with this, the setiathome client ensures that
only one copy of the client is running at anyone time.  This will work
fine for a daemon that checks if it's running and will not startup if it
is.  But many daemons don't do this on their own, in that case you'll
just get a multitude of processes running.
