[389-users] replicate_now script help

[Ludwig Krispenz]

ok, so there are two questions
- why doesn't the script work
- is th escript necesseray

To see why the script isn't working, could you provide the full script 
and commandline of your latest attempt

I think the doc is not fully correct. If a consumer is taken offline the 
supplier can no longer reach it and will try in increasing intervals, up 
to 5 mins, but in my understanding it should retry every 5 mins. If the 
cinsumer comes online the supplier does not know about this, and so it 
could be up to 5 mins until the next retry. If you really want immediate 
respons from the supplier the the suplier has to be notified eg by this 
script.
But if the consumer has been offline for some time it could probaly be 
acceptable to wait the 5 extra mins
