Windows Daemon Manager

A daemon is a well behaved console application that:

• Exits on closing of stdin (Console.ReadLine returns null)
• Reports its status by writting it to stdout (Console.WriteLine)
• Installs global unhandled exception catcher to:
  • Dump exception to Exceptions\Exception-TS-ProcName-Pid.txt
  • Write exception message to stdout (Console.WriteLine)
  • Exit with non zero code

Since many daemon instances can share a single executable the manager will always pass the registered daemon id as the Pid argument for the daemon to self identify (and for proper management of resources, like independent log files, if needed).

Daemons can only be installed into the workspace by:

• Downloading and uncompressing a zip from a given HTTP URI
• Issuing the install command specifying:
  • A string identifier (id)
  • The executable path relative to download folder
  • The arguments to pass to the executable after the id

• Windows 10 Pro 64x (Windows only)
• VS Code (bash terminal from Git4Win)
• Net Core SDK 3.1.201
• net462 supporting Windows 7 SP1 (x86 and x64)
  • .NET Framework 4.6.2 Download Page
  • Offline Installer
  • Developer Pack
• GNU Win32
  • Add C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin to PATH
  • Zip for Windown
  • OpenSSL for Windows
