BAIT: weatherpause script
NAME
weatherpause - temporarily closes the observatory during bad weather
SYNOPSIS
weatherpause time_in_seconds
DESCRIPTION
This shell script turns off the telescope tracking, closes the mirror
and slit. It then transmits an `interrupt' message to insgen and spawns a job
that will sleeps for the specified number of seconds and transmit a `resume'
message. It is called by
insgen,
after a period of successive failures.
The tin
resume command can be used to revive the telescope scheduling.

BUGS
Also there is no easy way to put telescope dependent features into it.
