Definition von daemons im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch
These are processes that run on computer systems to provide services to other computer systems or processes Typically, daemons are considered "servers"
Programs which sit quietly, watching a specific port, for TCP or UDP transmissions to come in addressed to that port When a transmission arrives, the daemon starts, or "spawns", another copy of itself, to handle that incoming communication
Small programs in Unix that run frequently to see whether something has happened If so, they act as they were programmed; if not, they go back to sleep
Small programs in Unix that run frequently to see whether something has happened: if so, they act as they were programmed; if not, they go back to sleep
Small programs in Unix that run frequently to see whether something has happened -- if so, they act as they were programmed; if not, they go back to sleep For example you might receive a "Mailer-daemon" if you have sent email that can not be delivered
A networking program that performs a housekeeping or maintenance utility function without being called by the user A daemon sits in the background and is activated only when needed, for example, to correct an error from which another program cannot recover
A process lurking in the background, usually unnoticed, until something triggers it into action For example, the update daemon wakes up every thirty seconds or so to flush the buffer cache, and the sendmail daemon awakes whenever someone sends mail
- A background process of the operating system that usually has root security-level permission A daemon usually lurks in the background until something triggers it into activity, such as a specific time or date, time interval, receipt of e-mail, etc
a background computing process which usually serves to "listen" for a particular computing event; the event that is "heard" by the daemon can then trigger other computing events
A UNIX program that runs continuously in the background, until it is activated by a particular event This word is often used to refer to programs that handle email The word daemon is Greek for "an attendant power or spirit "
A program that runs in the background whenever needed, carrying out tasks for the user Daemons 'sleep' until something comes along which requires their help Most commonly found on Unix systems
This is a process that runs in the background and performs a specified operation at predefined times or in response to certain events The term daemon is a UNIX term, though many other operating systems provide support for daemons, though they're sometimes called other names Windows, for example, refers to daemons and System Agents and services Dedicated connection: A permanent, 24-hours-a-day, Internet connection A dedicated connection can be a telephone line that is used solely for a modem that connects to a local ISP but is usually a high-speed connection installed specifically for Internet usage
A special small program that performs a specific task; it may run all the time watching a system, or it can take action only when a task needs to be performed Example: If an e-mail message is returned to you as undeliverable, you may receive a message from the mailer daemon
A process that handles periodic service requests or forwards a request to another process for handling Daemons run continuously, usually in the background, waking only to handle their designated requests For example, the httpd daemon responds to HTTP requests for web information
A program that runs without human intervention A daemon (pronounced DEE-man) waits silently, springing into action when some condition occurs (for example, when a file lands in a particular directory, or when a Web request is made through a particular communication line) Most server software runs as a daemon, so you'll see references to a Web server as an "HTTPD" program, for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Daemon
[from the mythological meaning, later rationalized 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)
A daemon (pronounced DEE-muhn) is a program that runs continuously and exists for the purpose of handling periodic service requests that a computer system expects to receive The daemon program forwards the requests to other programs (or processes) as appropriate For example, each server of pages on the Web has an HTTPD or Hypertext Transfer Protocol daemon that continually waits for requests to come in from Web clients and their users
(n ) A process that runs in the background, handling commands delivered for remote command execution; for example, the mailer daemon and the printer daemon
A daemon is a program that runs, without human intervention, to accomplish a given task For example, lpd is a daemon that controls the flow of print jobs to a printer
This is a software program designed to run constantly in the background until it is activated by a certain action It can also be set up to do certain things at set times An example of an Operating system that utilizes the use of many Daemons' is Linux Because of the wide variety of server functions Linux can handle, it lets users easily manage web servers, email servers, and many more functions In Windows environments, a Daemon can also be considered a TSR or Terminate and Stay Resident
A process that performs a system management function that is transparent to the user A daemon can perform its task automatically or periodically For example, the cron daemon periodically performs the tasks listed in the crontab file Daemons can be generated by the system and by applications Some daemons can also be started manually; for example, the binlogd command starts a daemon that logs binary event records to specified files The commands that manually start daemons usually end with a d
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) 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)
A persistent process that responds to requests as they arrive, without human intervention Server processes, such as those for HTTP and FTP, run as daemons
A daemon is a computer program which runs in the background In general, most daemons are started at boot time via System V init scripts, or through RC scripts on BSD-based systems mysqld, the MySQL server, and apache, a web server, are generally run as daemons
A daemon is any program that runs automatically in the background without you having to be involved Daemons can be created to clean up temporary files, rebuild manual pages, etc
Background process that performs operations on behalf of the system software and hardware Daemons normally start when the system software is booted, and they run as long as the software is running
