- The Mac OS X version was released on March 14, 2005 and on February 20, 2006 the patch 1.3 Rev A included a universal binary, adding support for Mac OS X on the x86 architecture. Finally, the modified Xbox conversion was released on April 3, 2005, featuring a limited steel book edition and two games including The Ultimate Doom and Doom II: Hell.
- With DAEMON Tools for Mac you can create ISO and MDS image files from original discs inserted in physical CD/DVD/HD DVD/Blu-ray drives. Or use images you have created earlier with other program. DAEMON Tools products work with variety of image types. Creates.iso,.mds/.mdf and.mdx images images; Create up to 4 DT, SCSI or HDD devices.
Many kinds of tasks that do not require user interaction are most effectively handled by a process that runs in the background. You can use a daemon or service to:
Provide server functionality, such serving web pages.
Coordinate access to of a shared resource, such as a database.
Perform work for a foreground application, such as file system access.

At a Glance
There is zero evidence of a big bearded man in the sky, angels, demons, talking bushes, magic trumpets etc etc. It's also all unnecessary, humanity managed millions of years of evolution without it all, and the universe (and life) billions.
This document provides information that developers of daemons and other low-level system services need to write their code and incorporate it into the startup process. It also provides some useful information for system administrators who must manage the startup process on the computers they manage.
Terminology Note: The terms 'service' and 'daemon' have several meanings in different contexts, with further variation over time and from one development community to another.
In this document, service refers to a background process that supports a full GUI application in some way, for example by registering a global hotkey or by performing network communication. Daemon refers to all other types of background processes, especially those that don't present any kind of user interface.
Design your Background Process
OS X provides a variety of background process types with different characteristics, designed for a different situations. There are also several ways for other processes to communicate with background processes. Choosing the appropriate design for a background process is an important first step.
Implement your Background Process
Having made the design decisions, you are ready to begin writing code. These chapters guide you through the process of creating specific types of background jobs.

Running Jobs on a Timed Schedule
Although it is recommended that background jobs be launched on demand, in some cases running the job on a timed schedule is the most appropriate solution.
