# nagios-acknowledge(1) -- Shortcut to acknowledge problems in Nagios, because
# it's annoying to do with the web interface for large sets of hosts or
# services.
#
#     $ nac (<host[/service][,host[/service],...>|-) [optional comment]
#
# You can specify multiple objects by separating them with commas:
#
#     $ nac abc-example-ap-1,abc-example-ap-2/VOLTAGE 'Power problems at abc-example'
#
# Even easier is to pipe them into stdin by specifying - as the object:
#
#     $ nul | grep abc-example | nac - 'Power problems at abc-example'
#
# By default, does not send ACKNOWLEDGEMENT notifications. Use -n if you do
# want that.
