To find out whether it's still working on your system, quit all existing instances and run: sudo /usr/bin/preload -d
This article (from 5.5 years ago) gives advice on whether to use it: https://askubuntu.com/questions/110335/drawbacks-of-using-preload-why-isnt-it-included-by-default
With the onset of SSDs, I imagine 'preload' makes considerably less of a difference these days.

Does this thing still work in 2018/2019? It hasn't been updated for a while now, I don't see any errors, but I don't know if it really makes a differences either.

I don't seem to have that problem here. If I kill the process manually, I have no trouble restarting the service. It's worth noting that I have not modified either of the configuration files from their defaults.

Is there any way to prevent breaking when it does not cleanly quit? Right now it breaks the state file, meaning it will no longer run as a service until it is removed.

I think you mean that your 'preload' log file is empty. So long as the output of "systemctl status preload.service" looks good, everything should be okay.

hi there, i have an issue: i don't have log files from preload:
ls -lha | grep preload
-rw------- 1 root root 0 16 ago 18.05 preload.log
any tips?

Because of the reasons in my previous comment. Note that while the statistics are interesting, packages are moved only because a TU/Dev wishes to maintain it, not because of popularity.

Why "preload" is moved out of [community]? In popularity statistics ( https://www.archlinux.de/?page=PackageStatistics ), "preload" popularity is 9.62%, ways higher than many other packages in [community]. Well, "preload" is old and not updated, but currently there is no other alternatives for that functionality.

Moved from [community]. It was an orphan that no other package depended on and of little interest. If a TU or Dev should feel like it, it can easily be moved back to one of the official repos in the future.
