Linux daemon (1)

There are many things worth learning about in Linux. Here we mainly introduce the Linux daemon process. The Linux daemon process is still quite common. So I studied the Linux daemon process, I would like to share it with you here and hope it will be useful to you. Through my introduction, you will be able to understand the Linux daemon process.

1. Introduction to the Linux daemon
1. alsasound: the Alsa audio card driver daemon. The Alsa sound card driver was originally written for a sound card Gravis UltraSound (GUS), which proved to be excellent, so the author began to write drivers for a general sound card. Alsa is compatible with OSS/Free and OSS/Linux, but it has its own interfaces and is even better than OSS.
2. acpid: acpidAdvanced Configuration and Power Interface) is a new Power management standard to replace the traditional APM Power management standard. Generally, the laptop needs to be powered on for management.

4. amd: automatically installs the NFS daemon.
5. anacron: An automated task daemon. Red Hat Linux tool with four automated tasks: cron, anacron, at, and batc. When your Linux server is not running all day long, this anacron can help you execute the work that has not been executed within the time set by "crontab.
6. apmd: apmdAdvanced Power Management) is advanced Power Management. Traditional Power Management Standards are useful for laptops and can be used to understand the battery information of the system. And write the relevant information into the log through syslogd. It can also be used to shut down when the power supply is insufficient.
7. arptables_jf: Specifies the daemon for user control of the arptables network.

41. irqbalance: the Server Load balancer daemon for system interrupt requests in multiple system processor environments. If you only install one CPU, you do not need to load this daemon.
42. kshell: kshell daemon.
43. kudzu: The hardware automatic detection program automatically checks whether the hardware has changed and adds or deletes the hardware accordingly. When the system starts, kudzu checks the current hardware and compares it with the hardware information stored in/etc/sysconfig/hwconf, if a hardware is added or deleted from the system, kudzu will detect it and notify the user whether to configure it, And then modify etc/sysconfig/hwconf, synchronize hardware data with the system. If the/etc/sysconfig/hwconf file does not exist, kudzu will start from/etc/modprobe. conf,/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/and etc/X11/XF86Config to detect existing hardware. If you do not want to add new hardware, you can close the startup service to speed up the system startup time.
