#770 "Delete Clients" expects connectivity to nodes to be deleted

Currently "Delete Clients" expect to have network
connectivity (ssh) to the nodes to be deleted such that
it can shut down some unnecessary services (eg. gmond).
This is bad if the nodes have already been taken out
of the network and/or powered down. We should
definitely check for some sort of connectivity before
performing the operation.

Seems like a bad bug and should be raised to priority 9.

    After looking into this a bit further, even though the
    restarting of services failed, this does not seem to cause
    major problems. I'll confirm this with the user and update
    this issue.

    Easy way to test if you can ping a node is run "ping -c 2 -l
    2 -W 1 " before you try the SSH connections (-c 2 fires 2
    packets, just incase you have network issues, -l 2 preloads
    and fires both at the same time.. increasing the # of
    packets and preload should make it more tolerant of network
    issues)

    errorlevel 0 is good, errorlevel 1 shows a no response on
    the ping.

    This should help for deletes of multiple clients, which
    really lags because of the ssh timeouts.

    Not really a huge issue, but gets annoying for large number
    of machine deletes.

    Moving this to 5.0. We can revisit later.
