Can not use forever-webui on forever module

[s1hon]

on app.js:30

    var usersFile = fs.readFileSync('users.json', 'utf8');

should be fixed like :

    var usersFile = fs.readFileSync(__dirname+'/users.json', 'utf8');

@opjlmi It seems to be an issue introduced by #29 (from @Cinezaster), don't hesitate to send a PR to fix this, I will merge it :)

Indeed users.json was intended to be in the root-folder of forever-webui and not of ~/ even in you run your forever module on ~/.
If you run node add_users.js it will add a users.json to the root-folder of forever-webui.

On some servers it could be an issue to write to ~/ because you're not permitted to. I can see the issue of setting users.json in the forever-webui folder because if you npm update forever-webui the file might be deleted. I suggest to store the users.json in ../users.json.

Any thoughts?

Ok, I got it.

I use git clone to download this, when I update, it won't delete the file.
But it will have some problem for download with npm install, store the users.json on root-folder maybe a best solution.

I still thank you for your reply 😄

I'm looking into other options for persistent data. like http://lokijs.org/
Because I would like to implement the improvements of #18 & #15. Next week I might have one of my developers implement a way to preconfigure a forever process. And I also need a storage for that.

Since this is actually a standalone application this shouldn't be in npm. In that case the data should be stored in /var/lib/
