Hi all,
I am a bit confused about daemons. I get that they are simple
programs to do a single task, I think anyway, but when someone
says "daemon", what do they mean? Is a hook a daemon? If daemons
are simple, why are they used for such complex tasks as mail
delivery? Are they software, or can they be firmware on
microprocessors in otherwise non-computerized devices, like cars
or thumb drives? Sorry for the random question, but I have heard
the word a lot and cannot quite figure it all out. Thanks.
Have a great day,
Alex
