What were you trying to do?
Use Athena software with wrappers that call send_message.
What's wrong:
If zwgc is running, send_message will zephyr me. If I'm
running owl or no zephyr client at all, send_message will
print to stdout. If I run the program in the background,
I wait around wondering what happened, until I figure out
that the job is suspended and fg it.
What should have happened:
Preferably, send_message should zephyr me no matter which
zephyr client I'm using, and only print to stdout when
I'm not running zephyr at all.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
