Daemon (computing): Implementations, Terminology & Overview

In computing, a daemon (/ˈdiːmən/ DEE-mən or /ˈdeɪmən/ DAY-mən) is a program that runs as a background process, rather than being under the direct control of an interactive user. Customary convention is to name a daemon process with the letter d as a suffix to indicate that it's a daemon. For example, syslogd is a daemon that implements system logging…
