I chose _daemon obecause it just sits and looks at things that are 
happening, and doesn't really provide services to any other system 
components -- it manages them instead. Plus, I'm used to that suffix 
from the mail_daemon. If anyone really cares, I'll change it, but it 
seems like no one does, judging by the e-mails about plutonium powered 
laptops and Austen Powers.
