Ok, here's the deal... In order to run zion, you should do: add mkgray run-zion This only works on Solaris at the moment. It will copy a default .zwgc.desc.pl into your homedir (unless one already exists). It will run zion, putting its output in /tmp/zionlog. You can modify your ~/.zwgc.desc.pl to do all sorts of cool stuff. Variables are document in the file. It should work. zctl wg_read works once. If you do it a second time, zion dies and you have to restart it. If you find other bugs, email them to this list (zion-testers), put a copy of your zionlog file and the coredump (if there is one) in /afs/sipb/project/zion/coredumps/ with an intelligent name. I suggest: core.username.date.brief-bug-description zionlog.username.date.brief-bug-description If you want to do more detailed debugging, please do. ...Matthew
