 AN!Wiki :: Daemon

A daemon is the unix/linux name given to programs that disconnect from any shells and run in the background. The are generally server programs that listen for control commands from external programs or that do jobs at certain times.

These are akin to "services" under Microsoft operating systems.

 

Any questions, feedback, advice, complaints or meanderings are welcome.
