go question about goroutines

[joe mcguckin]

I want to have some kind of server sitting a port and answering requests (Think HTTP or DNS). Can I tack on a AQMD client so that other software

can query the server regarding it's health or various runtime variables like # goroutines that are active, etc?

Does the AQMD client exist in it's own separate environment,  with separate goroutines?

If I have multiple go applications running, do they share the same runtime? Or does each one have it's own runtime and set of threads, etc.

Thanks,

Joe

I think the answer to this is No and Yes.

Certainly. Just listen on a separate port.

Each process has one runtime with its own threads. The Go runtime is not shared across distinct processes.
