.SH NAME
fence_apc - Fence agent for APC over telnet/ssh
.SH DESCRIPTION
.P
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.
.P
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.
