ORBIT-USER: -k option

[Thierry Rakotoarivelo]

Hi Haris,

You mentioned that NH4 reboots the nodes before running an experiment, I 
thought it was just supposed to send a "RESET" signal to all the 
nodeAgents, and not a full power reset. So there might be a bug there. 
Thanks for reporting this, I will have a look at it.

Just as a gentle reminder for the other users, when using nodeHandler4 
(/usr/bin/nodehandler4) the default behaviour leaves the nodes ON after 
an experiment. To have them turned OFF after an experiment, one needs to 
use the "-s true" option.

Regards,
Thierry.
