FENCE_AGENT(8)

NAME
fence_ecloud - Fence Agent for ANS eCloud

DESCRIPTION

fence_ecloud is a Power Fencing agent for use with the ANS eCloud platform which is compatible with eCloud VPC and eCloud v1.

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