How to do it...

1. Open the console and create the folder chapter04/recipe09.
2. Navigate to the directory.
3. Create the ticker.go file with the following content:

        package main        import (          "fmt"          "os"          "os/signal"          "time"       )       func main() {         c := make(chan os.Signal, 1)         signal.Notify(c)         ticker := time.NewTicker(time.Second)         stop := make(chan bool)         go func() {           defer func() { stop <- true }()           for {             select {               case <-ticker.C:                 fmt.Println("Tick")               case <-stop:                 fmt.Println("Goroutine closing")                 return             }           }         }()         // Block until         // the signal is received         <-c         ticker.Stop()         // Stop the goroutine         stop <- true         // Wait until the         <-stop         fmt.Println("Application stopped")       }

4. Execute the code by running go run ticker.go in the main Terminal.
5. Wait a few seconds, and then press ...
