You must call daemon.Run before exclusive usage of resources (bind ports, open files for write).

Any of the parameters (pid, log, dir) can be deleted from dsn string.

package main

import (
  "github.com/wmentor/daemon"
)

func main() {

  // no pid and no log
  if err := daemon.Run(""); err != nil {
    panic("daemon didn't run")
  }

  // your code 
}
