I'd be curious to understand what these processes actually do. I tried looking for manpages, but nothing was available. I then proceeded to look for "pagedaemon" on freebsd.org's search page (in faq and handbook), but nothing was available either. Short of reading the actual source code, where else can I find information on system processes?
