Failure to turn slave into member

[Petar Maymounkov]

I have been unable to turn a slave into a member. I wonder if this is a commonly occurring problem.

I've tried a couple different sequences of commands (with 5 sec sleeps between them, just in case):

doozerd -l 127.0.0.1:8040 -w :8080

doozerd -l 127.0.0.1:8041 -w :8081 -a 127.0.0.1:8040

echo '' | doozer -a 'doozer:?ca=127.0.0.1:8040' set /ctl/cat/1 0

and 

doozerd -l 127.0.0.1:8040 -w :8080

echo '' | doozer -a 'doozer:?ca=127.0.0.1:8040' set /ctl/cat/1 0

doozerd -l 127.0.0.1:8041 -w :8081 -a 127.0.0.1:8040

I've tried these also across different machines.

I wonder if people tend to have this problem as well.

Thanks

By the way, in all examples below, I meant to write /ctl/cal

Try:
printf ""

Instead if echo. The carriage return from echo could be casing the problem because it's a non-empty string.

there is also
$ echo -n ''
which doesn't add a trailing newline.
