kandi X-RAY | godaemon Summary

godaemon is a Go library. godaemon has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Daemonize Go applications with exec() instead of fork(). Read our [blog post] on the subject. You can’t daemonize the usual way in Go. Daemonizing is a Unix concept that requires some [specific things] you can’t do easily in Go. But you can still accomplish the same goals if you don’t mind that your program will start copies of itself several times, as opposed to using fork() the way many programmers are accustomed to doing. It is somewhat controversial whether it’s even a good idea to make programs daemonize themselves, or how to do it correctly (and whether it’s even possible to do correctly in Go). Read [here] [here] and [here] for more on this topic. However, at [VividCortex] we do need to run one of our processes as a daemon with the usual attributes of a daemon, and we chose the approach implemented in this package. Because of the factors mentioned in the first link just given, you should take great care when using this package’s approach. It works for us, because we don’t do anything like starting up goroutines in our init() functions, or other things that are perfectly legal in Go in general.

            Install godaemon

            View the [package documentation](http://godoc.org/github.com/VividCortex/godaemon) for details about how it works. Briefly, to make your program into a daemon, do the following as soon as possible in your main() function:. Use the CaptureOutput attribute if you need to capture your program’s standard output and standard error streams. In that case, the function returns two valid readers (io.Reader) that you can read from the program itself. That’s particularly useful for functions that write error or diagnosis messages right to the error output, which are normally lost in a daemon. Use the Files attribute if you need to inherit open files into the daemon. This is primarily intended for avoiding race conditions when holding locks on those files (flocks). Releasing and re-acquiring locks between successive fork calls opens up the chance for another program to steal the lock. However, by declaring your file descriptors in the Files attribute, MakeDaemon() will guarantee that locks are not released throughout the whole process. Your daemon will inherit the file still holding the same locks, with no other process having intervened in between. See the [package documentation](http://godoc.org/github.com/VividCortex/godaemon) for more details and sample code. (Note that you shouldn’t use this feature to inherit TTY descriptors; otherwise what you get is technically not a daemon.).
