Abstract
A method and apparatus of a device that changes the importance of a daemon process is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives a message from a user process destined for daemon process, wherein the daemon process executes independently of the user process and the first daemon process communicates messages with other executing processes. The device further determines if the first message indicates that the importance of the first daemon process can be changed. If the first message indicates the importance of the first daemon process can be changed, the device changes the importance of the first daemon process. The device additionally forwards the first message to the first daemon process.
