DIAGNOSTICS

     Warning: Warning: ## copies of (pcastagentd|pcastserverd) already running

     Trying to launch another daemon when one or more already running; will usually succeed, but may cause unpredictable behavior.
     See also RETURN VALUES, above.

ERRORS

HISTORY

     This program was first introduced in Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard".  It was inspired by xgridctl(8).

BUGS

     pcastctl(8) uses kill -TERM to allow the daemons a chance to die gracefully; there is currently no way to force a kill -KILL.
