Describe a system service.

What will be an ideal response?


Every time you run an application, the OS starts a process called a "system service" to handle it. The process runs in the background and carries out application-related tasks. Some system services start automatically when a computer is booted, such as the Network Service in Linux, which handles all network interfaces.
