go-daemon

Library for writing system daemons in Go. Now supported only UNIX-based OS (Windows is not supported). But the library was tested only on Linux and OSX, so if you have the ability to test the library on other platforms, give me feedback, please (#26). 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 execution in the child's copy. So that if the mark is not set - the library executes the parent's operations and runs its own copy with the mark, and if the mark is set - the library executes the child's operations.
