systemd is the first daemon to start during booting and the last daemon to terminate during shutdown. The systemd daemon serves as the root of the user space's process tree; the first process (PID 1) has a special role on Unix systems, as it replaces the parent of a process when the original parent terminates. Therefore, the first process is ...
Components of some Linux desktop environments that are daemons include D-Bus, NetworkManager (here called unetwork), PulseAudio (usound), and Avahi.. In multitasking computer operating systems, a daemon (/ ˈ d iː m ən / or / ˈ d eɪ m ən /) [1] is a computer program that runs as a background process, rather than being under the direct control of an interactive user.

Through the "rules engine daemon" that can automatically move processes of certain users, groups, or commands to cgroups as specified in its configuration. Indirectly through other software that uses cgroups, such as Docker, Firejail, LXC, [19] libvirt, systemd, Open Grid Scheduler/Grid Engine, [20] and Google's developmentally defunct lmctfy.
D-Bus (short for "Desktop Bus" [4]) is a message-oriented middleware mechanism that allows communication between multiple processes running concurrently on the same machine. [5] [6] D-Bus was developed as part of the freedesktop.org project, initiated by GNOME developer Havoc Pennington to standardize services provided by Linux desktop environments such as GNOME and KDE.
