A daemon is a Linux/Unix term for what in Windows is called a process.
They run quietly in the background and do stuff behind the scenes. Wikipedia has a nice article about them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(computing) |
You may also see the word 'service' used eg in RHEL
service network start (or stop or restart) |
sounds like a homework question
And i still think that these one line posts by 1 posters ( first post) is a bot |
when we start to work on linux many services run on system it called daemon,actually it is a process which works in background silently
