servicego

Background

The servicego package provides a wrapper for the functionality in github.com/kardianos/service

This was written to simplify usage when writing lots of services, eliminating much of the boiler place code to set up a new service.

Defaults

Service name, display name, and description all default to the executable name.

A Brief How-To

go get github.com/mlctrez/servicego

Embed Defaults in a struct for your Service.

type exampleService struct {
    servicego.Defaults
}

Implement Start and Stop as you would in github.com/kardianos/service

func (e *exampleService) Start(s service.Service) error {
    // Start should not block so do non-setup work in goroutines.
    // Return non nil error if the service cannot be started.
}

func (e *exampleService) Stop(s service.Service) error {
    // Cancel goroutines if you require a graceful shutdown.
    // Stop should not block and should return with a few seconds.
}
