NAME
fence_eps - I/O Fencing agent for ePowerSwitch 8M+ power switch
SYNOPSIS
fence_eps [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
fence_eps is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the
ePowerSwitch 8M+ power switch to fence connected machines. Fence agent
works (in 2008/10/21) ONLY on 8M+ device, because this is only one,
which has support for hidden page feature.
Agent basically works by connecting to hidden page and pass appropriate
arguments to GET request. This means, that hidden page feature must be
enabled and properly configured.
fence_eps accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin.
Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
fence_eps can be run by itself with command line options. This is
useful for testin and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
