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....

Hi @areed1192 I just hit this issue, should this work with osx?

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. https://github.com/areed1192/interactive-brokers-api/pull/6
