Demons? Etsee in it? Dot-D? Those are just jargon sounds to laymen, but you might recognize them to mean daemons, and /etc/init.d. If you've ever tried to tell a layman to stop, start, or restart a daemon, you know that it's exasperating. It may take several minutes - the layman doesn't know how to spell etc, he doesn't know a forward slash from a backslash, and he doesn't know what you're saying when you say init.d. Lastly, if he is doing this because you need him to (i.e. he didn't ask you, you asked him), then he probably doesn't know what the command line he just typed accomplishes. It may not be necessary for him to know, but if he's curious, he may ask, which just adds to your exasperation and time needed to get the task done.
