NAME

       fence_rcd_serial - rcd_serial fence agent

DESCRIPTION

       fence_rcd_serial  operates  a  serial  cable  that  toggles a reset of an opposing server using the reset
       switch on its motherboard. The cable itself is simple with no power, network or moving parts. An  example
       of  the  cable is available here: https://smcleod.net/rcd-stonith/ and the circuit design is available in
       the fence-agents src as SVG

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