NETMAIN_NOTE (NETWORK_MAINTENANCE_NOTES) -- Place message in network error log.
usage:  netmain_note string [string ...]


FORMAT

  NETMAIN_NOTE string [string ...]


  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.


ARGUMENTS

  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 quotes.)  If there is more than one string,
                     NETMAIN builds the note by concatenating the arguments that
                     are separated by spaces.


EXAMPLES

   $ NETMAIN_NOTE 'Scheduled down time at 5 pm.'

   $ NETMAIN_NOTE Cable disconnected at //sancho_panza
