Can't it just use a subdirectory of /var/run for the pid file
and set permissions appropriately for the directories it needs to
write to? See e.g. smokeping's rc script to see how to create the
/var/run subdir. You can use daemon_user to set the username to
run as.
/var/spool doesn't seem a great fit for the purpose of this file,
might it be better to use /var/db/uptimed?
from the plist,
| @bin sbin/uptimed
| @mode
this @mode isn't doing anything
| share/doc/pkg-readmes/${FULLPKGNAME}
| @rcscript ${RCDIR}/uptimed
the common place for rc scripts is right at the end of the file
| @mode 750
| @sample /var/spool/uptimed/
this needs an @extra or @extraunexec to remove files inside this
directory; this should go *before* the @sample line as they're
processed in order. (this is for pkg_delete -c).
