NETMAIN_NOTE (NETWORK_MAINTENANCE_NOTES) -- Place a message in the 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
  (reguired)       Specify message to be sent.  You use any string
                   that is legal in a Shell command.  (Note that the
                   Shell takes special action on some keywords like
                   'if', unless you place them in quotes.)
                   If there is more than one string, the note is built
                   by concatenating the arguments, separated by spaces.


EXAMPLES

  NETMAIN_NOTE 'Scheduled down time at 5 pm.'

  NETMAIN_NOTE Cable disconnected at //avarice.
