[MIT] A program similar to a {daemon}, except that it is not
invoked at all, but is instead used by the system to perform
various secondary tasks. A typical example would be an
accounting program, which keeps track of who is logged in,
accumulates load-average statistics, etc. Under ITS, many
terminals displayed a list of people logged in, where they
were, what they were running, etc., along with some random
picture (such as a unicorn, Snoopy or the Enterprise), which
was generated by the "name dragon". Use is rare outside
{MIT}, under {Unix} and most other {operating systems} this
would be called a "background {demon}" or {daemon}. The
best-known Unix example of a dragon is {cron}. At {SAIL},
they called this sort of thing a "phantom".
