10.0;netmain_note (network_maintenance_notes), revision 1.0, 88/01/21
netmain_note - place message in network error log
usage:  netmain_note string [string ...]



DESCRIPTION
     netmain_note sends a text string to netmain_srvr, the network maintenance
     server. The message is broadcast to all maintenance servers.

     Typical topics of maintenance notes include known or explainable network
     failures, scheduled down-time, and node installations.

     string (required)
                    Specify message to be sent.  You may use any string that
                    is legal in a shell command. (Note that the shell takes
                    special action on some keywords, such as 'if', unless you
                    place them in quotation marks.)  If there is more than one
                    string, netmain builds the note by concatenating the
                    arguments that are separated by spaces.

EXAMPLES
     $ /etc/netmain_note 'Scheduled down time at 5 pm.'


     $ /etc/netmain_note Cable disconnected at //sancho_panza
