daemondaemon[′dē·mən]daemon(operating system)For example, under ITS writing a file on the LPT spooler'sdirectory would invoke the spooling daemon, which would thenprint the file. The advantage is that programs wanting filesprinted need neither compete for access to, nor understand anyidiosyncrasies of, the LPT. They simply enter theirimplicit requests and let the daemon decide what to do withthem. Daemons are usually spawned automatically by thesystem, and may either live forever or be regenerated atintervals. Unix systems run many daemons, chiefly to handle requestsfor services from other hosts on a network. Most of theseare now started as required by a single real daemon, inetd,rather than running continuously. Examples are cron (localtimed command execution), rshd (remote command execution),rlogind and telnetd (remote login), ftpd, nfsd (filetransfer), lpd (printing). Daemon and demon are often used interchangeably, but seem tohave distinct connotations (see demon). The term "daemon"was introduced to computing by CTSS people (who pronouncedit /dee'mon/) and used it to refer to what ITS called adragon. daemonPronounced "dee-mun" as in the word for devil, as well as "day-mun," a daemon is a Unix/Linux program that executes in the background ready to perform an operation when required. Functioning like an extension to the operating system, a daemon is usually an unattended process that is initiated at startup. Typical daemons are print spoolers and email handlers or a scheduler that starts up another process at a designated time. The term comes from Greek mythology, meaning "guardian spirit." See agent and mailer-daemon.DAEMON
