Background Worker written in Go

Hi,

We did some experiments, look at: https://github.com/prest/bgworker

Yes I've seen that and add a star to that project :) But didn't have time/energy/some other excuse ... I leave this open as a reminder to do it. Or if anyone can do it I will pull it right away

any news to this? being able to use goroutines would be absolutely awesome.

I've been testing this. It works fine, also have ideas how to integrate it to plgo tool. But I've got a problem, that goroutines are not starting. Is someone familiar with it? I must somehow enable threading in the background worker?

@microo8 would be nice if you share some code sample

[microo8]

The code that I experimented with is in the test/bgw directory

Wanted to isolate the get_got _sigterm and wait_latch to something similar as the time.Tick method. It needs to run a separate goroutine to wait for the latch. (Also need to add close on that channel)

Also tried to run a goroutine, that doesn't use the log (maybe the log isn't accessible from another thread), but does something else (like touch a new file). But it doesn't run.
