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.

-k, --identity-file=[filename]
Identity file (private key) for SSH
-4, --inet4-only
Forces agent to use IPv4 addresses only
-6, --inet6-only
Forces agent to use IPv6 addresses only
-a, --ip=[ip]
IP address or hostname of fencing device This parameter is always required.
-u, --ipport=[port]
TCP/UDP port to use for connection with device (Default Value: 23)
-p, --password=[password]

Wait X seconds for cmd prompt after login (Default Value: 5)
--power-timeout=[seconds]
Test X seconds for status change after ON/OFF (Default Value: 20)
--power-wait=[seconds]
Wait X seconds after issuing ON/OFF (Default Value: 0)
--shell-timeout=[seconds]
