NAME
     powerman - power on/off nodes

SYNOPSIS
     pm [-options] -action [targets] [-action [targets] ...]

DESCRIPTION
     powerman  provides power management in a data center or compute cluster en-
     vironment.  It performs operations such as power on, power off,  and  power
     cycle  via  remote  power	controller  (RPC) devices.  Target hostnames are
     mapped to plugs on RPC devices in powerman.conf(5).

OPTIONS
     -1, --on targets
	    Power ON targets.

     -0, --off targets
	    Power OFF targets.

     -c, --cycle targets
	    Power cycle targets.

     -r, --reset targets
	    Assert hardware reset for targets (if implemented by RPC).

     -f, --flash targets
	    Turn beacon ON for targets (if implemented by RPC).

     -u, --unflash targets
	    Turn beacon OFF for targets (if implemented by RPC).

     -l, --list
	    List available targets.  If possible, output will be compressed into
	    a host range (see TARGET SPECIFICATION below).

     -q, --query-all
	    Query plug status of all targets.  Status is not cached;  each  time
	    this  option is used, powermand queries the appropriate RPC's.  Tar-
	    gets connected to RPC's that could not be  contacted  (e.g.  due  to
	    network  failure)  are  reported  as status "unknown".  If possible,
	    output will be compressed into host ranges.

     -Q, --query targets
	    Query plug status of specific targets.

     -n, --soft-all
	    Query soft power status of all targets (if implemented by RPC).   In
	    this  context,  a  node in the OFF state could be ON at the plug but
	    operating in standby power mode.

     -N, --soft targets
	    Query soft power status of specific targets (if implemented by RPC).

     -b, --beacon-all
	    Query beacon status of all targets (if implemented by RPC).

     -B, --beacon targets
	    Query beacon status of specific targets (if implemented by RPC).

     -t, --temp-all
	    Query node temperature of all targets (if implemented by RPC).  Tem-
	    perature information is not interpreted by powerman and is	reported
	    as	received from the RPC on one line per target, prefixed by target
	    name.

     -P, --temp targets
	    Query node temperature of specific targets (if implemented by RPC).

     -L, --license
	    Show powerman license information.

     -h, --server-host host[:port]
	    Connect to a powerman daemon  on  non-default  host  and  optionally
	    port.

     -V, --version
	    Display the powerman version number and exit.

     -D, --device
	    Displays  RPC  status  information.   If targets are specified, only
	    RPC's matching the target list are displayed.

     -T, --telemetry
	    Causes RPC telemetry information to be  displayed  as  commands  are
	    processed.	Useful for debugging device scripts.

     -x, --exprange
	    Expand host ranges in query responses.

     -g, --genders
	    If	configured with the genders(3) package, this option tells power-
	    man that targets are genders  attributes  that  map  to  node  names
	    rather than the node names themselves.

TARGET SPECIFICATION
     powerman target hostnames may be specified as comma separated or space sep-
     arated hostnames or host ranges.  Host ranges are of the general form: pre-
     fix[n-m,l-k,...], where n < m and l < k, etc., This form should not be con-
     fused  with  regular expression character classes (also denoted by ``[]'').
     For example, foo[19] does not represent foo1 or foo9, but rather represents
     a degenerate range: foo19.

     This range syntax is meant only as a convenience on clusters  with  a  pre-
     fixNN  naming  convention and specification of ranges should not be consid-
     ered necessary -- the list foo1,foo9 could be specified as such, or by  the
     range foo[1,9].

     Some examples of powerman targets follows:

     Power on hosts bar,baz,foo01,foo02,...,foo05
	 powerman --on bar baz foo[01-05]

     Power on hosts bar,foo7,foo9,foo10
	 powerman --on bar,foo[7,9-10]

     Power on foo0,foo4,foo5
	 powerman --on foo[0,4-5]

     As  a reminder to the reader, some shells will interpret brackets ([ and ])
     for pattern matching.  Depending on your shell, it may be necessary to  en-
     close  ranged  lists within quotes.  For example, in tcsh, the last example
     above should be executed as:
	 powerman --on "foo[0,4-5]"
