 TODO
-* in the config, most options should have defaults. for managers, host/port/username aren't really needed, ssh_config can take care of that.
+* IMPORTANT: libremanage right now does ssh relay command 1; sleep; ssh
+  relay command 2. That whole thing needs to be made into a local script
+  or else if the second ssh command fails, the relay stays in the state
+  that's supposed to be temporary, making the server impossible to turn
+  on without unplugging the relay from it's power and usb ports.

 * .libremanage.json should be toml or yaml so it can have comments
 * there should be a state command which runs hidusb-relay-cmd state
+* The script's function arguments should be made more clear / documented
