Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the management of a demon program by providing a mechanism which executes an administrative function as to the demon program, without making the demon program quit the services provided for service- receiving resources. SOLUTION: This demon program 301 provides the services for one or plural resources. In this method, a step for registering the demon program 301 by an inter-process communication mechanism 313 is incorporated. In another step, a service agent program 315 is connected to the demon program 301, using an inter-process communication. This method uses the inter-process communication mechanism 313 for sending a message from a service agent program 315 to the demon program 301. In another step, the message is processed by the demon program 301 which is performing control operation.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods and computer program products are disclosed that allow for dynamic administration, management and monitoring of daemon programs executing within a computer. The invention uses service agent programs (315, 319) to communicate with a daemon program (301) that provides services for a resource. The daemon program (301) responds to administrative messages from the service agent. The service agent program (315, 319) uses these administrative messages to interact with the daemon program (301) to perform administrative operations on the daemon program or the resources served by the daemon program without requiring the daemon program to be terminated and restarted.
