Pronounced "day-MON" is a program that runs unattended. (In DOS, it's
known as a TSR). It usually does some type of control function. For
example: There is a cron daemon which wakes up every minute and sees
if you need to run a cron job. It runs in the background, and you
almost never see it.
Lots of programs (especially network stuff) run as daemons.
