Command failed: which groupadd on OS X #35

Closed paambaati closed 9 years ago

paambaati commented 9 years ago

I just installed process-boss v2.6.3 on OS X running Node.js v0.12.0 via Homebrew. Installation went fine, save for a few deprecation warnings (which I suppose were because of Node 0.12), but when I tried to start boss, here's the error I got.

sudo bs -v

I took a quick look at the code, and I see that you're try-catching groupadd (which is a Linux command), and moving on to dscl, which should be used for OS X. I am not entirely sure why the try-catch didn't work, though. Is there some more data I could provide to debug this issue?

I just spotted this too - it'll be fixed in the next release (most likely tomorrow), really sorry.

In the interim you can create the group manually using System Preferences.
