Error: No program specified

running on node v0.6.1-pre

I get this error:

node.js:201
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
^
Error: No program specified.

Confirming this issue:

$ node -v
v0.6.0

$ supervisor app/MyApp.js 
The "sys" module is now called "util". It should have a similar interface.

Edit: Note that checking out the most recent HEAD and replacing my npm installation resolves the issue, however require('sys') should be changed to require('util'). I won't bother with a pull request ;-)

I have the same error. Changing "sys" to "util" did not help, as well as reinstalling.

nodejs v0.6.1

same issue

Try this

node-supervisor -p app.js -w ./

Try upgrading to 0.2.0 and see if that resolves these issues.

Hi,

I have this issue (with node 0.7.0-pre) and cannot upgrade to supervisor 0.2.0 and instead see below error:

npm ERR! System Linux 3.0.0-12-generic-pae
npm ERR! command "node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "install" "supervisor" "0.2.0"
npm ERR! cwd /var/www
npm ERR! node -v v0.7.0-pre
npm ERR! npm -v 1.1.0-beta-4
npm ERR! type obj_ctor_property_non_object
npm ERR! arguments [ 'keys' ]
npm ERR! message Object.keys called on non-object

any ideas?

Wow living on the edge, you are running an unstable version of node (0.7.0-pre) which is highly unlikely to run many packages, the latest stable 0.6.6 works good w/ supervisor.

FYI - running 0.7.5-pre and just ran into this issue as well. I know that I'm running a very early and unstable build, but wanted to give a heads up to others that come across this ticket. I am going to try and downgrade and see if the latest stable can run supervisor. Tried with 0.0.6 of supervisor
