Okay, I realize now that I didn't do a very good job in my first post of explaining my problem, so I'll trying again. In the above code I need to signal(sigint or sigterm) the exec.CommandContext on line 69 that is blocking so it will stop and finish the goroutine. The goal behind the code is to set a record duration and then stop the blocking command after the record timer has been met and exit the goroutine normally. So far I haven't been able to figure out how to signal the command to stop. I have two tuners that can be recording a the same time, so I need them running in goroutines so the main thread can do other things. I read through the context package that you recommended, but still can't get it to work.
