​I think it is a z/OS person having fun. An "angel" is an independent UNIX
process (in a separate address space) which runs in authorized state to
perform authorized functions for certain servers. Why "angel", probably
because "daemon" had already been taken. Or maybe they were thinking in
theatrical terms where an "angel" is a financial backer who makes the
production of a play (usually) possible.
