NAME¶

fence_emerson - Fence agent for Emerson over SNMP

DESCRIPTION¶

fence_emerson is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with MPX and MPH2 managed rack PDU.

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