# 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>] [optional comment]
#
# Good for for/while loops:
#
#   for hostname in hosta hostb hostc; do nac "$hostname" ... ; done
#   while read -r hostname; do nac "$hostname" ... ; done < downtime-hostnames
#
# By default, does not send ACKNOWLEDGEMENT notifications. Use -n if you do
# want that.
