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 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 testing and for turning outlets on or  off  from
       scripts.
