I committed a patch that do exactly the above: it defaults to
$HOME/var if $USER = "root" and this check should be POSIX-compliant,
not only bash-compliant ;-)

Actually, this is not needed, because detachtty refuses to start:

I corrected the ugly output above ("$FOLDER"/file), sorry for the
first not-styled patch :-(

With this option, obviously, we need to create a false socket and pid,
so we can know if another process is running.

Thx, bye,
