exec tcp server

If you execute a tcp server, then it is common that

• listen a low-numbered (<1024) port as root user, and
• switch to non-root user such as nobody

In some programming languages such as golang, this might be difficult.

exec-tcp-server helps this.

Usage

$ exec-tcp-server --addr 0.0.0.0:80 --user nobody your-server arg1 arg2 arg3

Example

Listen 80 port, and switch from root to nobody:

❯ make
cd example && go build -o example
sudo ./exec-tcp-server --addr 0.0.0.0:80 --user nobody example/example
