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)
}
