I'm curious what tools you are using to copy the file to
a remote machine.

Sorry about that. The good news is that if done properly, it should
work: we're using this machinery to trigger memory wipe on shutdown,
and it definitely works.

I suggest reading the insserv(8) and init(8) manpages.

Once you've got something working, please do consider documenting how
you do it, so that it can benefit others :)
