No, that's because it calls monitor_on("hest"), the pilot called hest.
That's to test the exception stuff :)

That's also "deliberate", it loops and checks for action untill C-c.

It is actually, check drafts/gob/, theres a gpilotd-client27B, that uses a
GOB generated GTK+ object (unfinished and still in designchaos). This
version will probably become a real commandline gpilotd interaction tool.

Nope, gpilotd-client is just an ugly testtool, used to test the various
corba calls the gpilotd supports.
