Since you don't think that processes with no controlling terminals are daemons, what is your definition of a daemon?
This is what my notion is -
All those processes without a controlling terminal need not be necessarily daemons and can remain as ordinary process.

Ok, let me clarify it this way.

For ex:

Code:
nohup ./check_process
detach it from terminal

[ check_process : checks whether a process is running or not ]

Since there is no terminal associated with check_process, is that a daemon ?
