The creation of a System Agent has fewer requirements to meet as for an Agent.
This is because a System Agent is considered as ``trusted code'', as part
of the System itself. It has almost the same rights and access as the platform.
This makes the System itself very vulnerable for bad written System Agents,
like the dependency of an operation system of its device drivers. If writing
a System Agent you have to care to do not block or damage the System, this is
the most important requirement when creating a new System Agent.
