Hola,

Am attempting to convert Daemons processes and use a different name & potentially more. Am curious what programming language is used & where to discover documentation for the project. Perhaps a person in the forums could assist in the process.

Gracias.

There is a good description of daemons on Wikipedia. It doesn't say anything about the language(s) they are written in, presumably because most languages can be used for writing daemons. C is probably the most popular choice. C++ and Perl are not unusual. Bash can be used for convenience but is not a good choice for performance -- which may not matter.

Gracias,

Would you happen to comprehend a way to convert daemons process' and alter the name or perhaps have various insights about such? Am attempting to convert them to a "Priest" process, similar a exorcism for Linux, to rather turn the process into a invisible guiding & assistant hand.

Gracias.

Which name?

Alter the name "Daemons" and rather reference them to be "Exorcist" processes perhaps, or perhaps user configurable upon install so the user can name the processes whatever he/she elects.

Gracias.

Where are you seeing the name?

Do you wish to open a IRC chat window? You don't answer questions & ask superfluous questions in response. And such is a forum thread to get a specific answer to the questions. Bien?


Gracias.

LQ likes to keep the questions and answers in thread so any solution is available to people who find the thread; in this way we build up a knowledge repository.

I don't understand what you mean by "You don't answer questions & ask superfluous questions in response".

We can't know if it is possible to change the name Daemon as you want to do without knowing where the name appears for you. I don't know where it appears.

I think the OP wants to change "daemon" to something else in every place it occurs. Since there's probably quite a lot of software that will use the term (e.g. Apache, Sendmail, ...) and all of them are probably quite different, this strikes me as being something quite impractical to do. Maybe I don't understand what they want to do, though.

See the OP's other thread.

Hola,

Yes, the goal is to use the terminology "Domino" au lieu. If such appears outside practicality, then perhaps there is a "Masking" process that could accomplish the task. Any suggestions?

Gracias.

The name "daemon" in documentation about Linux and in people's minds cannot be changed by customising Linux. AFAIK those are the big majority of the places that the name is used. Or you could base your distro on an existing distro that, Windows-like, calls them services rather than daemons.

Hola,

And personal response: Rather, or it could be redefined, similar "Masking" the processes & permitting the Angelico-specific Linux user community be informed that the name for the processes has altered. What about the name "Domino" being more specific to what the processes actually perform in function? It is a name perhaps more suitable & more acceptable for the Christian Community. You might wish to research the word "Domino" with beginning in a English Dictionary, then Latin & Greek perhaps. The name is more appropriate.

Gracias.

Are you claiming "the Christian Community" aren't intelligent enough to know the difference between "daemons" in the Linux sense, and "demons" in the Christian sense?

What comes next? Renaming the kill command because of the 6th commandment?
