daemon Last modified: Tuesday, April 22, 2003
Pronounced DEE-mun or DAY-mun. 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 as System Agents and services.
Typical daemon processes include print spoolers, e-mail handlers, and other programs that perform administrative tasks for the operating system. The term comes from Greek mythology, where daemons were guardian spirits.
I replyed back only to get the evil Yhaoo! mailer DAEMON message

...I don't understand. Did someone randomly send you an email about daemons, or something?
The MAILER-DAEMON is just the mail server.
Or in this universe.. its the word for greater demon.
It's just the horrific bedfellows of the Chaos Gods. Turn away now and let the pure light of the Emperor cleanse your unworthy soul.
