📖What it means
What causes a process to run — a clock, an event, or nothing at all in the case of something continuous. A process whose trigger is not durable stops the next time the machine restarts, and nobody notices.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Process
The trigger is what starts it; the process is what runs.
Not: Watchdog
A trigger starts work; a watchdog watches whether it happened.
