def self.program_path(program_name = :tor)
  ENV['PATH'].split(File::PATH_SEPARATOR).each do |path|
    program_path = File.join(path, program_name.to_s)
    return program_path if File.executable?(program_path)
  end
  return nil
end

.running? ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if the Tor process is running locally, false otherwise.

This works by attempting to establish a Tor Control Protocol (TC) connection to the standard control port 9051 on localhost. If Tor hasn’t been configured with the ‘ControlPort 9051` option, this will return false.

Examples:

Tor.running?      #=> false

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

Since:

  • 0.1.2
