NAME

       fence_apc - Fence agent for APC over telnet/ssh

DESCRIPTION

       fence_apc  is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the APC network power switch. It
       logs into device via telnet/ssh   and  reboots  a  specified  outlet.  Lengthy  telnet/ssh
       connections  should  be avoided while a GFS cluster  is  running  because  the  connection
       will block any necessary fencing actions.

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