Thanks Ken

I'd just found the use of 'crm_node -l' in the source code.
I've got it working (just out of interest) in my test setup using the 
awful hack of replacing the crm_node and corosync-cmapctl executeables 
with shell scripts that ssh in the host and run the command there..... 
not something I want to do in production for security reasons.
