More interesting to me is the question of how you fix things if,
for example, you have a master console assigned, but then that machine
goes away for whatever reason, without backups. If you can't go and
relinquish properly, then what? I imagine that this is the situation
under discussion - otherwise he probably would have already tried to
release it.
I've got a situation like this at a customer site. In this case,
it's immaterial, since we're doing a complete reinstall of the probes
for other reasons anyway, but I'm curious to know how to make a probe
release it's master without having the master available to make the
request.
