All daemons are active tasks that are running any time a suspend happens, so any OS must handle daemons differently than foreground tasks in terms of determining whether it is active or inactive. The question is, how do you inform Linux and OSX that a daemon is to be considered active even if it would otherwise fall into the category of inactive because, say, there is an open TCP socket, but there has not been any network traffic in X amount of time? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WatchGuard Dimension instantly turns raw network data into actionable security intelligence.
