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.
