I'm running zephyr on a non hesiod cluster,
I am not familiar with how Zephyr works without Hesiod, so you may be
having problems I do not understand.
and have been having
trouble getting zephyrgrams to work to groups using zwrite. Suppose I do:
zctl subscribe message pizza
Does this subscribe me to pizza messages ? should I then be able
to zephyrgram everyone who is interested in pizza with a:
zwrite -c pizza
You seem to be confused as to the difference between "class" and
"instance". All zephyr messages are identified by a triple:
<class,instance,recipient>. The -c flag to zwrite sets the class; the
-i flag sets the instance. "zctl subscribe message pizza" subscribes
you to zephyr messages sent to <message,pizza,*>.
By default, zwrite sends to class "MESSAGE" and instance "PERSONAL".
Therefore, "zwrite -c pizza" *should* fail because you are not
subscribed to <pizza,personal,*>, but "zwrite -i pizza" should
succeede because you are subscribed to <message,pizza,*>.
Hope this information helps..
