Relaunch Windows Golang program with UAC elevation when admin rights needed.

I'm buiding a command line tool in Go that has an option to install itself as a service on Windows, which it needs admin rights for. I wanted to be able to have it reliably detect if it was running as admin already and if not, relaunch itself as admin. When the user runs the tool with the specific switch to trigger this functionality (-install or -uninstall in my case) they are prompted by UAC (User Account Control) to run the program as admin, which allows the tool to relaunch itself with the necessary rights.

To detect if I was admin, I tried the method described here first:
https://coolaj86.com/articles/golang-and-windows-and-admins-oh-my/
This wasn't accurately detecting that I was elevated, and was reporting that I was not elevated even when running the tool in CMD prompt started with "Run as Administrator" so I needed a more reliable method.

I didn't want to try writing to an Admin protected area of the filesystem or registry because Windows has the ability to transparently virtualize those writes

Nginx Basics

#Nginx Basics for Ubuntu

Please see http://wiki.nginx.org/Main for more information. See http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/11/how-to-set-up-a-safe-and-secure-web-server/ for a tutorial on how to install Nginx.

##Installation To install, you can install the version which is in the standard Ubuntu repositories but it is normally quite old and will not have the latest security patches. The best way is to update the repositories first:

apt-get update
apt-get install python-software-properties

apt-get upgrade
