Getting status from broctl

When I am in the broctl console, issuing a status results in the following: (could this be giving me other grief as well?)

[BroControl] > status

This is probably related to your other issues..

    statuses = dict([(n.name, success and output[0].split()[0].lower() or "???
") for (n, success, output) in statuses])

the status command just grabs the first word of the output of

    cat /path/to/worker/.status..

like..

    root@sec2:~# cat /var/spool/bro/worker-sec2-3/.status
    RUNNING [net_run]

that's failing for you for some reason..
