Programaticaly control Appium sessions

Hello,

I want to create the program ( Node.js, golang ) that

  • start a new Appium session with desired port number and configurations

  • track currently running Appium sessions on the machine

  • close desired Appium session

  • detect crashes in the Appium session.

Is there any existing libraries and resources I can reference to build the tool with those requirements? Do I need to fork and modify existing Appium codebase? I have found the article that explain how to start the Appium server automatically from Node.js and java here . But it only cover how to start appium session programmatically.
