Description

TCustomDaemon implements all the basic calls that are needed for a daemon to function. Descendents of TCustomDaemon can override these calls to implement the daemon-specific behaviour.

TCustomDaemon is an abstract class, it should never be instantiated. Either a descendent of it must be created and instantiated, or a descendent of TDaemon can be designed to implement the behaviour of the daemon.
