Why each option
The fwm process runs exclusively on the Management Server and is not present on Security Gateways.
fwd (FireWall Daemon) runs on both the Management Server and Security Gateways, handling log forwarding and policy installation communication.
fwm (FireWall Management daemon) is the process that handles SmartConsole client connections, policy database management, and administrative operations - it exists only on the Management Server because these functions are inherently management-plane responsibilities with no equivalent role on a Security Gateway.
cpd (Check Point Daemon) runs on both the Management Server and Security Gateways, providing core infrastructure services including SIC (Secure Internal Communication) certificate management.
cpwd (Check Point Watchdog) runs on both the Management Server and Security Gateways, monitoring other Check Point processes and restarting them if they terminate unexpectedly.
