HOSTMANAGER Not Responding

Error:
------
	main.c: Hostmanager not responding Setting Location
	zctl (load): Hostmanager not responding: while subscribing
	/etc/athena/zinit: Hostmanager not responding while subscribing

Solution:
---------

These three errors may appear while you are logging in and may be mixed with
some other normal status messages.  

Sometimes, errors of this sort occur simply because the system load is
high and the hostmanager didn't respond as quickly as expected.  Just
try sending your zephyr again in a few seconds and it should be ok.

If you continue getting errors of this sort however, it may mean that
the hostmanager on your workstation has died for some reason.  To
remedy the situation you will need root access on your workstation.
There's no problem if you are in a regular Athena cluster -- if you
don't already know the root password, type:

		tellme  root

at your athena% prompt. If you are using a private workstation, you'll
need to the person who maintains the workstation.

        athena% su                        become super-user
        Password: 	                  enter the password
	athena# cd /                      cd into the root directory
        athena# /etc/athena/zhm           start new host manager
        athena# exit                      exit from the root shell
        athena% zctl load                 reload subscriptions
