This is also true for gnunet-arm -e, btw. Not sure if that can be fixed. We could timeout I guess.

Maybe to clarify: All CLI tools that interact with gnunet services do not "hang". They wait for the service to come online (again) to talk to them. You can ctrl-c out of this.
So this issue only has 2 solutions:

1. Close as wontfix
2. Think about adding a (delayed) info message to affected CLI utilities (quite a few of those) that tell the user that gnunet may not be running.
