daemon
(foldoc) | daemon
/day'mn/ or /dee'mn/ (From the mythological
meaning, later rationalised as the acronym "Disk And Execution
MONitor") A program that is not invoked explicitly, but lies
dormant waiting for some condition(s) to occur. The idea is
that the perpetrator of the condition need not be aware that a
daemon is lurking (though often a program will commit an
action only because it knows that it will implicitly invoke a
daemon).
For example, under ITS writing a file on the LPT spooler's
directory would invoke the spooling daemon, which would then
print the file. The advantage is that programs wanting files
printed need neither compete for access to, nor understand any
idiosyncrasies of, the LPT. They simply enter their
implicit requests and let the daemon decide what to do with
them. Daemons are usually spawned automatically by the
system, and may either live forever or be regenerated at
intervals.
Unix systems run many daemons, chiefly to handle requests
for services from other hosts on a network. Most of these
are now started as required by a single real daemon, inetd,
rather than running continuously. Examples are cron (local
timed command execution), rshd (remote command execution),
rlogind and telnetd (remote login), ftpd, nfsd (file
transfer), lpd (printing).
Daemon and demon are often used interchangeably, but seem to
have distinct connotations (see demon). The term "daemon"
was introduced to computing by CTSS people (who pronounced
it /dee'mon/) and used it to refer to what ITS called a
dragon.

/day'mn/, /dee´mn/, n.
[from Maxwell's Demon, later incorrectly retronymed as ‘Disk And Execution
MONitor’] A program that is not invoked explicitly, but lies dormant
waiting for some condition(s) to occur. The idea is that the perpetrator of
the condition need not be aware that a daemon is lurking (though often a
program will commit an action only because it knows that it will implicitly
invoke a daemon). For example, under ITS, writing a file on the LPT
spooler's directory would invoke the spooling daemon, which would then
print the file. The advantage is that programs wanting (in this example)
files printed need neither compete for access to nor understand any
idiosyncrasies of the LPT. They simply enter their implicit requests and
let the daemon decide what to do with them. Daemons are usually spawned
automatically by the system, and may either live forever or be regenerated
at intervals.
Daemon and demon are often used interchangeably, but seem to have
distinct connotations. The term daemon was introduced to computing by {CTSS
} people (who pronounced it /dee'mon/) and used it to refer to what ITS
called a dragon; the prototype was a program called DAEMON that
automatically made tape backups of the file system. Although the meaning
and the pronunciation have drifted, we think this glossary reflects current
(2003) usage.

The Design and Implementation of the 4.3BSD UNIX Operating System, by
Samuel J. Leffler, Marshall Kirk McKusick, Michael J. Karels, and John S.
Quarterman (Addison-Wesley Publishers, 1989, ISBN 0-201-06196-1); or The
Design and Implementation of the 4.4 BSD Operating System by Marshall Kirk
McKusick, Keith Bostic, Michael J. Karels and John S. Quarterman
(Addison-Wesley Longman, 1996, ISBN 0-201-54979-4) Either of the standard
reference books on the internals of BSD Unix. So called because the
covers have a picture depicting a little demon (a visual play on daemon)
in sneakers, holding a pitchfork (referring to one of the characteristic
features of Unix, the fork(2) system call).
