Hi dodona...

OT:
What can bc and dc do that awk can't?

Heck, Corona688 has recently done a DFT script in awk and I have also done one in pure ksh.
Can bc or dc do that?
As awk does any floating point that I require then this is what I use in bash.
(Plus a couple of years ago CygWin had neither bc nor dc but it has awk and bash as its default shell.)

Floating point is useful and ksh and zsh has had the facility for years, why not bash too?

crmadmin

PACEMAKER(8)						  System Administration Utilities					      PACEMAKER(8)

NAME

       Pacemaker - Part of the Pacemaker cluster resource manager

SYNOPSIS

       crmadmin command [options]

DESCRIPTION

       crmadmin - Development tool for performing some crmd-specific commands.

	      Likely to be replaced by crm_node in the future

OPTIONS

       -?, --help
	      This text

       -$, --version
	      Version information

       -q, --quiet
	      Display only the essential query information

       -V, --verbose
	      Increase debug output

   Commands:
       -i, --debug_inc=value
	      Increase the crmd's debug level on the specified host

       -d, --debug_dec=value
	      Decrease the crmd's debug level on the specified host

       -S, --status=value
	      Display the status of the specified node.

	      Result is the node's internal FSM state which can be useful for debugging

       -D, --dc_lookup
	      Display the uname of the node co-ordinating the cluster.

	      This is an internal detail and is rarely useful to administrators except when deciding on which node to examine the logs.

       -N, --nodes
	      Display the uname of all member nodes

       -E, --election (Advanced) Start an election for the cluster co-ordinator

       -K, --kill=value

   Additional Options:
       -t, --timeout=value
	      Time (in milliseconds) to wait before declaring the operation failed

       -B, --bash-export
	      Create Bash export entries of the form 'export uname=uuid'

   Notes:
	      The -i,-d,-K and -E commands are rarely used and may be removed in future versions.
