.TH FENCE_AGENT 8 2009-10-20 "fence_compute (Fence Agent)"
.SH NAME
fence_compute - Fence agent for the automatic resurrection of OpenStack compute instances
.SH DESCRIPTION
.P
Used to tell Nova that compute nodes are down and to reschedule flagged instances
.P
fence_compute accepts options on the command line as well
as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the
agent. fence_compute can be run by itself with command
line options.  This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off
from scripts.
