Answer / kamakshee
The processes like vhand, bdflush, sched are housed in
kernel file or /unix system which are known as daemons.
These files run in the background without users
request.These are created when the system boots up and
remains active till it shut down or hang. These are not
linked to any user or any terminal .We can't kill a daemon.
