sexec is a simple command execution library written in golang. It currently only works on linux.

$ go get github.com/blang/sexec

Note: Always vendor your dependencies or fix on a specific version tag.

import github.com/blang/sexec
p := sexec.NewProcess("while true; do echo test; sleep 1; done", os.Stdout, os.Stderr)
p.Start() // Start in background
p.Signal(syscall.SIGTERM) // Send signals
<- p.WaitCh() // Wait for exit
pid, err:=p.Pid()
code, err:=p.ExitCode()

Also check the GoDocs.

• Simple
• Fully tested (Coverage >90%)
• Readable errors
• Only Stdlib

• Exit Codes
• Waiting via channel or method
• Signalling

I needed a simple lib to get ExitCodes and proper Signalling without the hassle around syscall.
