Here we can have a brief overview of miscellaneous daemons running on the system and their function.
| init | The first process to start after the kernel. It controls the system runlevel and adapts any child whose parent dies. | |
| nmbd | Responds to netbios name service requests for Samba works in conjunction with Samba which is why it is not mentioned under startup services.. | |
| update (kupdate) | Does a sync every 30 seconds. A sync is an updating of memory pages, or virtual memory pages that have been changed, but not saved to the swap disk | |
| bdflush (kflushd) | Started by update - does a more imperfect sync more frequently | |
| (kpiod) | ||
| (kswapd) | ||
| getty | Listens for connections at terminals |
