Forward SIGTERM to child process #237

Description

@alyssaruth

What

We have a .NET app which is wrapped in the codecoverage tool in our local development stack, like this:

exec /app/tools/dotnet-coverage collect --session-id "coverage-session" -f cobertura -o "/tmp/coverage/coverage-$(basename "${DLL_NAME}").xml" -- dotnet "$DLL_NAME" "$@"

Inside this application we have a service which hooks into the IHostApplicationLifetime interface to register an action on ApplicationStopping:

// Register shutdown
_hostApplicationLifetime.ApplicationStopping.Register(OnStopping);

However, when running the app wrapped in codecoverage, our OnStopping doesn't fire. That's because codecoverage itself ends up being PID 1 inside the container, and it doesn't pass the SIGTERM signal on to our own application:

$ ps -aux
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
app 1 0.3 0.3 6180692 218940 ? Ssl 14:30 0:03 /app/tools/dotnet-coverage collect --session-id coverage-session -f cobertura -o /tmp/coverage/coverage-app.dll.xml -- dotnet /app/app.dll
app 17 0.4 0.3 8401572 242552 ? Sl 14:30 0:03 dotnet /app/app.dll

Proposed solution

codecoverage should pass on any kill signals it gets to the process that it's wrapping, and wait for the child process to terminate before terminating itself.
