FENCE_AGENT(8) System Manager's Manual FENCE_AGENT(8)

NAME

fence_powerman - Fence Agent for Powerman

DESCRIPTION

fence_powerman is a Power Fence Agent for the Powerman management utility that was designed for LLNL systems.

The fence agent accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent. The agent can be run by itself with command line options. This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
