-    - The Disable Haproxy Backend Server, with
-      supports get current weight for server (default) and
-      shutdown sessions while disabling backend host server.
+    - Enable, disable, and set weights for HAProxy backend servers using socket

 notes:
-    - "enable or disable commands are restricted and can only be issued on sockets configured for level 'admin', "
