Add OnExec()

Open arp242 opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

syscall.Exec() will unapologetically replace/kill the current process. This is good in many cases, but in some cases you really want to run some code before it does so.

In my case, the Go backend also starts a webpack nodejs process to rebuild the frontend on changes, but the node process will keep running as an orphan because the parent died. With OnExec() the parent can instruct the children to kill themselves. There are probably some other use cases as well.

It would be nicer to add this to reload.Do(), but we can't really do that without an incompatible change.
