Feature Request: Support for On-Demand Execution via xinetd or Systemd Socket Activation

[unclesamwk]

Hey everyone,

First off, thanks for webhookd – it's a great tool!

However, I'm missing one feature: In some environments, the number of incoming requests is relatively low, making it unnecessary to keep the service running continuously. A solution could be using xinetd or systemd socket activation. However, for this to work, webhookd would need to terminate immediately after handling an HTTP request. As far as I know, a SIGCHLD signal is sent in such cases.

It would be great if you could implement support for this!

Best regards,
Sam

Hi Sam, thanks for the feature request. I'll check how to implement it. It's not that simple because of other features like ACME, Workers and Notifications (it's asynchronous). Maybe I should disable these features when socket activation is used...
