| A [[Wikipedia:Daemon (computing)|daemon]] is a program that runs as a "background" process (without a terminal or user interface), commonly waiting for events to occur and offering services. A good example is a web server that waits for a request to deliver a page, or a ssh server waiting for someone trying to log in. While these are full featured applications, there are daemons whose work is not that visible. Daemons are for tasks like writing messages into a log file (e.g. {{ic|syslog}}, {{ic|metalog}}) or keeping your system time accurate (e.g. [[ntpd]]). For more information see {{man|7|daemon}}.

| In Arch Linux, daemons are managed by [[systemd]]. The [[systemctl]] command is the user interface used to manage them. It reads {{ic|''name''.service}} files that contain information about how and when to start the associated daemon. Service files are stored in {{ic|/{etc,usr/lib,run}/systemd/system}}. See [[systemd#Using units]] for details.
