      anybody that know anything about mac file system permissions might be able to help me…

      I have samba server share that is connected on logon to my catalina box.
      using the login items page

      if I open a terminal window, the share is there and usable

      I also have MM installed and the MMM-ImagesPhotos module. which has symbolic links to folders on the samba share

      if I start MM from the command prompt, via npm start, all works ok,
      if I start MM with pm2, (which does an npm start from the batch file), the share is not accessible…

      with this error reported from my code

       exception=Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, scandir '/selectedpics'
       exception=Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, scandir '/sp'
      

      this link seems to say if I could find ‘the application’ I could enable access
      https://osxdaily.com/2018/10/09/fix-operation-not-permitted-terminal-error-macos/

      I cannot find pm2 (it is outside my user space) /usr/lib/bin/pm2
      I tried making the electron.app thing as the application, but still doesn’t work.

      the share opens correctly at login
      pm2 starts MM correctly at login

      SO close…
