tutelary /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 }.
