Yes, strangely enough, I've found that "zwgc", that pinnacle of
bug-freeness, suffers from a minor problem under Solaris. (gasp)
What were you trying to do?
zctl shutdown
What's wrong:
bert% zctl wg_shutdown
If a message is sent to me (or one of the instances or classes
I subscribe to), there is a short delay, after which the
following error message appears in the console window,
followed by the zephyrgram:
zwgc: Connection timed out while retrieving zephyr subscription list
What should have happened:
It should have stayed shut down.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
from zwgc(1) man page:
wg_shutdown tell zwgc to cancel all subscriptions and
stop acting on incoming notices.
from zctl(1) man page:
wg_shutdown Tell the WindowGram client to shutdown; this
causes it to ignore all notices until a
wg_startup command is issued.
