fence_dummy - Dummy fence agent

fence_dummy

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