Auth and such are using subprocesses that invoke cmd and tasklist, so windows only.

Are there no options to use this library on mac / UNIX?
Or do I have to change all the subprocess windows commands to UNIX equivalents?

e.g. FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'tasklist' when trying to see if there is an active running gateway...

Kind regards,
Kristof

If you want I extend this on another branch and open a PR for you....

Hey! I've got the same issue, anyone know how to change all the subprocess commands? Thanks!

I didn't see any PR for posix support so, I created it myself.
Do check it out. I understand it was way back in the past so, might not be relevant to you anymore.
