.SH NAME
fence_apc - I/O Fencing agent for APC MasterSwitch
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B
fence_apc
[\fIOPTION\fR]...
.SH 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.
