What is the equivalent Unix Daemon in WINNT?

[Sonix7]

that's it, why do I need to know that? Just a doubt.

Thanks in advance!

Probably the closest equivalent to a Daemon in Unix is a Service in WinNT.

Yeah, that's just a very strange question. What daemon are you talking about, specifically? IIS is a httpd, ftpd, news, ASP, and so forth, for example.

By definition, dameons are server processes, often initiated at boot time, that run continuously while the system is up, waiting in the background until a process requires their service. For example, network daemons are idle until a process requests network access.

Based on that I'd have to agree that the closest thing to a daemon in Windows would be a service.
