NAME
fence_apc - I/O Fencing agent for APC MasterSwitch
SYNOPSIS
fence_apc [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
fence_apc is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the APC
MasterSwitch network power switch. It logs into a MasterSwitch via
telnet and reboots a specified outlet. Lengthy telnet connections to
the MasterSwitch should be avoided while a GFS cluster is running
because the connection will block any necessary fencing actions.
fence_apc accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin.
Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
fence_apc can be run by itself with command line options. This is
useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
