Apple Remote Desktop's dictionary, while well-intentioned, and quite
useful, is, well, odd. Two copy verbs, every task actually has the word
"task" in it, you have to separately build and then execute a task,
shutdown, restart, and sleep are all separate tasks, etc.
It almost looks like Apple Remote Desktop has some odd kind of OCD when you
look at the dictionary.
