Hi Michiel,

It's a _test_ script, so I like it to test all possible options, even if some flags indicate otherwise. But the reporting could indicate it tested an option that is not in accordance with the information in the nodelist?

I would also like it to test Hold and Down nodes with an IBN flag and host name.


Bye, Wilfred.
