So, what exactly have you researched so far? Is there any specific point that you need help?

Also, your second question is not very clear. Can you please rephrase that?

My question is what exactly the daemon process, how its differ from back ground process.Please correct if the below are wrong,
1.Bg process are initiated by user where as daemon as system initiated,
2.we have access to kill bg process and not to daemon .
3.daemon is similar to defunct ?
