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

NAME
     fence_eps - Fence agent for ePowerSwitch

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 ONLY on 8M+
     device, because this is only one, which has support for  hidden  page  fea-
     ture.

     Agent basically works by connecting to hidden page and pass appropriate ar-
     guments to GET request. This means, that hidden page feature must be en-
     abled 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  testing  and
     for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
