hi Andreas,

I realised that by having the line <host name=".+" profile-id="other"
/> this was picking up my current machine first and trying to run the
profile "other" instead of using the profile "maths"

I have now added my machine to the top of the list and the script does work.

My question now is this: As dia is already installed on my machine,
once the script checks to see dia is already installed it appears to
shutdown, does this mean the other 22 machines on my list no longer
get DIA installed? Or will the script go onto the next host and repeat
the process of checking for DIA to be installed?
