Hi,

Unfortunately, there’s not a good way to suppress these error messages right 
now. The easiest way is to create a file called e.g. bwctlrc, and put these 
lines in it:

disable_owamp
disable_tracepath
disable_traceroute
disable_ping

and then when you call bwctl, set the environmental variable like:

export BWCTLRC=/path/to/bwctlrc

Cheers,
Aaron
