Hm. socklog-klog, mcelog works exactly how you explain - they take input
only from kernel and do their work without interacting with other
services, and no other users or services interact with them. Probably we
can also put acpid and smartd under same description. So, what's the real
difference between them and udev?

Is `kill -STOP $$` at end of ./run won't be enough? Why do you need pause(1)?

I think this pause is done by `udevadm settle --timeout=30` command.
