Fork a hook process, instead of forking every time. #41

Open sargon opened 5 years ago

We could fork a process early and then pass events by a unnamed socket. This would solve the issue with multiple hook script instances, forking on every event and prevent and resources over consumption by an event spike.

another way would be starting one process like run-parts that runs all the hooks.

EDIT: actually the run-parts approach does not solve the issue entirely. hooks for different events are still processed in parallel.
