Simple process manager helper library, features:

• start processes .AddCommand(Cmd) and .Start(cmdId) or .StartAll(), with environment variables Cmd.Env=[]string{} and Cmd.InheritEnv=true
• stop them; .Kill(cmdId) or .Cleanup() to kill all process
• restart them when they crash; using Cmd.RestartDelayMs=1000 (=1s, default is 0) and Cmd.MaxRestart=5 (restart 5x if process ended/crashed)
• relay termination signals; .Signal(cmdId, os.Kill)
• read their stdout and stderr; Cmd.OnStdout, Cmd.OnStdErr callback
• ability to stop processes when main processes are SIGKILL'ed: .Cleanup() called automatically when main process killed;
• configurable backoff strategy for restarts; you can use Cmd.OnRestart callback to return random delay or implement your own exponential backoff, setting this callback will render Cmd.RestartDelayMs unusable
• Cmd.OnExit callback when no more restart reached, you can call .Start(cmdId) manually again after this
• Cmd.OnProcessCompleted callback each time program completed once (before restarting if MaxRestart not yet reached)
• Cmd.StartDelayMs=1000 (=1s, default is 0) for delaying start, in milliseconds
• Cmd.UseChannelApi=true, if enabled, you can receive from channels: Cmd.StderrChannel, Cmd.OnStdoutChannel, Cmd.ProcessCompletedChannel, Cmd.ExitChannel
• Cmd.LastExecutionError property to get last process execution error, check this answer to get the exit code
• Cmd.OnStateChanged callback and Cmd.StateChangedChannel channel to track process state
• should work on Linux, and probably MacOS and Windows (untested).
• see example/ for other usage example/demo;

versioning using this format 1.(M+(YEAR-2021)*12)DD.HMM, so for example v1.213.1549 means it was released at 2021-02-13 15:49

daemon := goproc.New()

cmdId := daemon.AddCommand(&goproc.Cmd{
    Program: `sleep`, // program to run
	WorkDir: `/tmp`, // directory to run the program (optional)
    Parameters: []string{`2`}, // command line arguments
    MaxRestart: goproc.RestartForever, // default: NoRestart=0
    OnStderr: func(cmd *goproc.Cmd, line string) error { // optional
        fmt.Println(`OnStderr: `+line)
        return nil
    },
    OnStdout: func(cmd *goproc.Cmd, line string) error { // optional
        fmt.Println(`OnStdout: `+line)
        return nil
    },
})

daemon.Start(cmdId) // use "go" keyword if you need non-blocking version

Q: Why not just channel? why callback?

A: Because channel requires a consumer or it would stuck/block, while callback doesn't (this is why I add flag to activate the channel API). To the Percona reviewer that rejected me because I didn't use channel at the first time "the whole thing is written in JavaScript translated to Go, not in Go. Technical task does not adhere to Go best practices which is what would expect from the candidate. One example was that the code is written in JS-like style (e.g. callback). Go code does not use callback like node.js for example", well, jokes on you XD
