can't send signals

[fourteatoo]

Signals do not work, at least on OSX with goon:

iex(3)> proc = Porcelain.spawn("sleep", ["30"], [])
%Porcelain.Process{err: nil, out: :string, pid: #PID<0.153.0>}
iex(4)> Porcelain.Process.signal proc, 15
{:signal, 15}
iex(5)> Porcelain.Process.signal proc, :kill
{:signal, :kill}
iex(6)>

I still keep seeing the process:

$ ps axww | fgrep sleep
48681 ?? Ss 0:00.01 /usr/local/bin/goon -proto 2.0 -out -- /bin/sleep 30
48682 ?? S 0:00.00 /bin/sleep 30
48690 s007 S+ 0:00.00 fgrep sleep

@fourtytoo I'm seeing something similar, and I'm not able to stop a process as well. Have you found any workaround to this?

Hi folks. There's a bug in goon that prevents signals from being delivered, see alco/goon#6.

You should be able to work around it by providing some input to the spawned process, for example, in: "ignore me".

Unfortunately, I can't say when I'll be able to fix this. I have plans to release a new version of Porcelain with a bunch of fixes at some point, but no defined dates at this point.
