I'm hoping to find someone who may be using the Google Stenographer tool on Ubuntu.  Other than GitHub, I've been able to find very little information on the tool.  By all accounts is has been installed and configured correctly, but when I try starting the tool I find the following in the logs:

stenographer[PID]:  could not read config file "/etc/stenographer/config":  read /etc/stenographer/config:  is a directory

Obviously something is referencing a directory path but is expecting to find a config file.  Within the /etc/stenographer/config directory resides an executable file named config.go, which I believe is what this process is looking for.  Does anyone know of a way I can find (or confirm) what is referencing the directory path instead of the config file so that I might be able to edit it to read the config file?  I found in the stenographer.go file where it references this directory, so I appended to that line to make it include the confg file but that had no effect.  

At this point I suspect it might be the executable in /bin that is referencing this line in stenographer.go, but that is only an assumption on my part and have no way of confirming that right now.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!
Jeff S.
