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 to communicate with a daemon program that provides services for a resource. The daemon program responds to administrative messages from the service agent. The service agent program uses these administrative messages to interact with the daemon program 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.
