service can not start

[kakuilan]

I follow the following steps to do, but can not start:
go build myservice.go
./myservice install
Install My Echo Service: [ OK ]
./myservice start
Starting My Echo Service: [FAILED]
Error: exit status 5

system is ubuntu.16.04

I cant verify this in nearest time, but maybe somebody check who use ubuntu 16.04

I get the same error. On raspberry pi (debian jessie) I get error code 6.

$ go build
$ sudo ./myservice install
Install My Echo Service: [ OK ]
$ sudo ./myservice start
Starting My Echo Service: [FAILED]
Error: exit status 6

It was solved by removing the following two lines in /etc/systemd/system/myservice.service:

Requires=dummy.service
After=dummy.service

@hawavisi
I get the same env with you。
Do it your way：
./myservice start sucess,but can't auto restart after myservice abort.
Can you see the same question？

@hawavisi @takama
[letian@inf example]$ sudo ./myservice install
[sudo] password for letian:
Install My Echo Service: [ OK ]
[letian@inf example]$ sudo ./myservice status
Service is stopped
[letian@inf example]$ sudo ./myservice start

[letian@inf example]$ cat /etc/redhat-release

For those who see the same issue. Try to remove dummy.service in the line

var dependencies = []string{"dummy.service"}

It might be helpful.

@threeearcat I removed dummy.service and it works well on ubuntu 16.04. Thank you

i solved this way..

1. change your code.
   srv, err := daemon.New(name, description, dependencies...)
   =>
   srv, err := daemon.New(name, description)
2. remove service
3. install service
4. start service
5. ok... good.!
