I'm doing that now at work, it seems to work most of the time, including
all night last night.

I've had a couple issues when starting and stopping it multiple times,
but I'd venture to say that's a different problem.

Note: I've not tested to see which specific binaries should be uniproc.
I think the colinux-daemon would be sufficient, but I just opted to
change them all.
