This allows then to use these hostnames to connect to +machines. + +=head1 OPTIONS + + -d, --debug server debugging + -h, --help this help screen + -i, --init initialize session data + +=over 4 + +=item * C<-d, --debug> + +Enable "server debugging" in order to communicate fatal errors back to the client script. + +=item * C<-h, --help> + +Show usage screen. + +=item * C<-i, --init> + +Initialize session data prior to using client/server script regularly. + +=back + +=head1 AUTHORS + +Michel Ketterle, Steven Schubiger + +=cut |
