when using sysVinit, scripts in the /etc/init.d directory start various system daemons. these scripts invoke commands as arguments to a shell function named daemon, defined in the /etc/init.d/functions file.

    Hi,

    In what chapter/section is that? A daemon is a process that's running in background, and it's not intended to be run for the user. Also, users don't interact directly with daemons. I suggest you to take a look to the scripts under /etc/init.d/ , so you can see what they look like.

    Regards,

    Luis.

    Hi,

    Ok, I saw the page. Well, I suggest you to take a look to the files under /etc/init.d/ and also /etc/init.d/functions file, so you can have an idea about what we are talking about, and what file runs once that the service is started.

    Regards,

    Luis.
