UI is required only if the user has been logged-in.
In general, privilege escalation and -- much harder if not impossible

secure and robust fashion.
Better if your daemon runs as a non-root process -- nobody is ideal,
but not always feasible -- when no one is logged on and then a second
daemon starts as the user logs in (stops as they log out) w/
communication with the always-on daemon.
