Under Windows you might be thinking of a service (not a daemon).
There is a package for creating Windows services (see the Wiki).
(The advantage of that is that the process will be started by the
system, not by some user action.)

Thanks, found something that might fit in.


But what do you mean by invisible? That there is no window?
Just do "wm withdraw ." I think it will not show up in the
taskbar then, as that only shows visible windows that are not
dialogues (or at least that is how I understand the selection).

Yes. It should not be visible on the screen nor in the task bar.
It does http requests in regular intervals and depending on the
response a dialog box might pop up.


Or do you mean: invisible in the list of processes? Like a "rootkit"?
Some would consider that unethical, you know.

No. Not my party.

Thanks
