v0.2.3

• Adds child sub reaper support (prctl to ensure any orphaned descendant process will get reparented to caller).
• General testing infrastructure cleanup and added more tests.

config := reaper.Config{
        Pid:                  0,
        Options:              0,
	Debug:                false,
	DisablePid1Check:     true,
	EnableChildSubreaper: true,
        StatusChannel:        nil,
}

//  Start background reaping of orphaned child processes.
go reaper.Start(config)

//  Rest of your code ...

You may need to disable the pid 1 check DisablePid1Check depending on how you are using this option.

What's Changed

• Add subreaper functionality (stale code), add more tests and cleanup tests by @ramr in #27

v0.2.2

Adds configuration option StatusChannel that allows you to receive

        Options:          0,
	Debug:            true,
	DisablePid1Check: false,
	StatusChannel:    make(chan reaper.Status, 42),
}

go func() {
        select {
        case status, ok := <-config.StatusChannel:
                if !ok {
                        return
                }
                // process status (reaper.Status)
        }
}()

//  Start background reaping of orphaned child processes.
go reaper.Start(config)
