=head1 Name
B<winstall> - Begin OS provision on a noderange and display in wcons
=head1 B<Synopsis>
B<winstall> [I<-o>|I<--osver>] [I<-p>|I<--profile>] [I<-a>|I<--arch>] [I<-O>|I<--osimage>] [I<noderange>]
=head1 B<Description>
B<winstall> is a convience command that will change tables as requested for operating system version, profile, and architecture, call nodeset to modify the network boot configuration, and rpower to begin a boot cycle.
If [I<-O>|I<--osimage>] is specified or nodetype.provmethod=I<osimage> is set, provision the noderange with the osimage specified/configured, ignore the table change options if specified
It will then commence a wcons command to the noderange for monitoring.
=head1 B<Options>
=over 7
=item B<-o>|B<--osver>
Specifies which os version to provision. If unspecified, the current table values are used. Will be ignored if [I<-O>|I<--osimage>] is specified or nodetype.provmethod=I<osimage>.
=item B<-p>|B<--profile>
Specifies what profile should be used of the operating system. If not specified the tables are used as is. Will be ignored if [I<-O>|I<--osimage>] is specified or nodetype.provmethod=I<osimage>.
=item B<-a>|B<--arch>
Specifies what architecture of the OS to provision. Typically this is unneeded, but if provisioning betweer x86_64 and x86 frequently, this may be a useful flag. Will be ignored if [I<-O>|I<--osimage>] is specified or nodetype.provmethod=I<osimage>.
=item B<-O>|B<--osimage>
Specifies the osimage to provision.

B<rinstall> I<node1-node20>

Provision nodes 1 through 20, forcing rhels5.1 and compute profile.
