Now supported only UNIX-based OS (Windows is not supported). But the library was tested only on Linux and OSX, so that if you have an ability to test the library on other platforms, give me feedback, please (#26). Please, feel free to send me bug reports and fixes. Many thanks to all contributors. Features Goroutine-safe daemonization; Out of box work with pid-files; Easy handling of system signals; The control of a daemon. Installation go get github.com/sevlyar/go-daemon You can use gopkg.in: go get gopkg.in/sevlyar/go-daemon.v0 If you want to use the library in production project, please use vendoring, because i can not ensure backward compatibility before release v1.0. Examples Simple Log rotation Signal handling Documentation godoc.org/github.com/sevlyar/go-daemon How it works We can not use fork syscall in Golang's runtime, because child process doesn't inherit threads and goroutines in that case. The library uses a simple trick: it runs its own copy with a mark - a predefined environment variable. Availability of the variable for the process means an execution in the child's copy. So that if the mark is not setted - the library executes parent's operations and runs its own copy with mark, and if the mark is setted - the library executes child's operations:","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/sevlyar","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/sevlyar/go-daemon/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
