Double forking would take care of the spawned process. But you'd still be
forced to boot with the file system mounted read-write. I don't know if
that's the way to go. I think Arch wants you to boot with a read-writable
root fs nowadays, but I don't know what the benefit should be. Even more
so since you need to remount it read-only during system initialisation
anyway before checking it.
