Answer / Neel Mani Dixit
A daemon process, also known as a background process or simply daemon, is a type of software that runs in the background on a Linux system. They are typically designed to perform specific tasks without requiring user interaction. Unlike regular processes, daemons detach themselves from the controlling terminal (by renouncing their controlling terminal with fork() and setsid()) and run as independent processes. Examples of daemon processes include Apache web server, cron, SSHd, and systemd.
