Invalid daemon kind specified

[ImanMousavi]

* func main() { srv, err := daemon.New(name, description, daemon.SystemDaemon) if err != nil { // <-- Invalid daemon kind specified errlog.Println("Error: ****", err) os.Exit(1) }

service := &Service{srv}
status, err := service.Manage()
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(status, "\nError: ", err)
}
fmt.Println(status)

rand.Seed(time.Now().UnixNano())

}

If you're running on MacOSX; the simple example will not work as daemon.SystemDaemon is not supported. Try changing it to a different kind like GlobalDaemon

Tank you

Just trying out your package. The "problem" on macOS is that neither UserAgent nor GlobalDaemon really "daemonize" the process. Is this a bug?

Below code work for me for both MacOS and Linux.

func main() {
    var kind daemon.Kind
    switch runtime.GOOS {
    case "darwin":
        kind = daemon.GlobalDaemon
    default:
        kind = daemon.SystemDaemon
    }
    srv, err := daemon.New(name, description, kind, dependencies...)
    if err != nil {
        errlog.Println("Error: ", err)
        os.Exit(1)
    }
    service := &Service{srv}
    status, err := service.Manage()
    if err != nil {
        errlog.Println(status, "\nError: ", err)
        os.Exit(1)
    }
    fmt.Println(status)
}
