The main reason I want to remove the thread is when the daemon iterates, 
I do not want it to create new threads if threads are currently running. 
I am currently testing with 25 threads, the total thread count is 
dynamic. To sum it up, if threads are active and running, I do not want 
new threads to be created until no threads are active. The issue I am 
having is trying to determine if there are active threads still running 
code.
