System Daemon or DBus activated service?

[Jonathan Kang]

Hi list

According to this[1], it says
> ModemManager is a system daemon
and
> ModemManager is a DBus system bus activated service (meaning it's started
automatically when a request arrives).

A system daemon means that MM is running all the time. Doesn't that
conflict with DBus activated service? Besides, can ModemManager quit when
let's say, it's not needed, just like what PackageKit does. Is it possible?
