A daemon process is supposed to be running all the time waiting for user to do something and then respond right ? Does “All the time” mean infinite time ? (Infinite loop) ?
When I run an infinite for loop, the cpu usage spikes to 100% ? Why is it so ?
Thank you for your time.

If your loop doesn’t do anything that could possibly yield the CPU to other processes, then that loop is going to nail the cpu to 100%.
Proper way of coding the loop is to have it sleep for a brief time or wait for I/o to let the OS run other tasks.
