What do you mean by the daemons? |

Answer» DAEMONS also referred to as the background process, is a long-running Linux PROGRAM that runs in the background. They do not have any controlling terminal, therefore, they run in the background. These are the processes that are generally started when the system is BOOTSTRAPPED and TERMINATE or end only when the system is shut down. It is simply the way of extending the functionality of the base OS. It provides and offers several functions that are not available in OS. Its main purpose is to handle periodic requests and then forward the requests to the APPROPRIATE programs for execution. |
