A daemon is a process on a server that runs behind the scenes to perform a specific task. It has no user interface, and you do not interact directly with a daemon. Instead, you make requests through the Prinergy Evo Client software, which initiates communication with the appropriate daemons.
Each daemon plays a unique role as part of the Prinergy Evo system. A daemon has two reference names. For example, License Server daemon is the full name, and JLicenseD.exe is the corresponding executable name.
Note: Daemons are also commonly referred to as servers. In Prinergy Evo software, the term daemon is always used, to avoid confusion between server software and server hardware.
Daemon descriptions
Full Name | Executable Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
Color Database Server |
| Server for factory and user-defined color libraries. |
Diagnostics Log Daemon |
| Used as a support tool. Collects diagnostic information from other daemons and JTPs and writes it to the system diagnostics log file set. |
Diagnostics View Daemon |
| Used as a support tool. It reads the log contents on behalf of tools that display the log files. |
File Browser Server |
| Finds server-accessible files and all related resources from the local host, Macintosh shares, and UNC paths for the Process Template Editor. |
Floating License Manager |
| Used for Kodak plug-ins for Acrobat software. Manages handing out Kodak plug-in licenses from the pool of shared licenses. Also provides Preps and Pandora floating licenses. |
Health Monitor |
| Monitors and tracks the state of critical system resources, generates alerts when it detects a problem, and sends the alert to the Prinergy Evo Administrator to be displayed. |
History Log Daemon |
| Maintains system history information, which is visible from the Prinergy Evo Client. |
Hot Folder Daemon |

Hot Folder Daemon Manager |
| A central depository for hot folder information and status. Hot Folder Daemon Manager sends configuration information to the Hot Folder Daemon. |
Imposition Daemon |
| Determines how pages are positioned on the proofing media when creating page output. It creates an imposition plan on demand for page output. The imposition is determined by selections made in the Layout section of the output process template (in the Process Template Editor). |
License Server Daemon |
| Monitors and tracks the use of licensed server components, such as JTPs. |
Naming Server |
| Maintains a list of software interface addresses. Daemons use the Naming Server to find one another and the JTPs. JTPs use the Naming Server to find Daemons. When an interface address is requested, the Naming Server returns it to the requester. |

| Starts JTPs and server daemons as per your license. |
Preps Daemon |
| Provides Prinergy Evo's Process Template Editor a list of Prep's imposition templates, devices, and device page sizes. |

| Enables a Prinergy Evo system to emulate a network-connected printer (both AppleTalk software and LPD) for Macintosh OS X, and Windows platforms. |
Process Manager Daemon |
| Coordinates and tracks processes through the JTPs in the Prinergy Evo system. |
Process Template Server Daemon |
| Stores process templates. Acts as the depository for both Prinergy Evo and user-defined process templates. |
User Interface Daemon |
