Console 'undefined' after rpc_start_server

If you are using the GUI to set that info then the GUI will no longer be able to communicate with the backend because the RPC user/password/port will be wrong.

I would recommend you run bitshares_client from the console as this is what your bot should be working with.

I'm trying to set a bot to work on bitshares. I'm confused about a number of issues therein, but one thing that seems especially strange:

After unlocking my full GUI version of the Bitshares client, I am using rpc_set_username / rpc_set_password and rpc_start_server XXXX.

Thereafter, any further commands entered into the client console will return 'undefined' .

I suspect this is my key problem because when I try to make a cURL call, I am getting 'curl: (52) Empty reply from server'.

I'm using Mac.

Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated!
