fence_rcd_serial - rcd_serial fence agent
fence_rcd_serial operates a serial cable that toggles a reset of
an opposing server using the reset switch on its motherboard. The cable
itself is simple with no power, network or moving parts. An example of the
cable is available here: https://smcleod.net/rcd-stonith/ and the circuit
design is available in the fence-agents src as SVG
fence_rcd_serial accepts options on the command line as well as
from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
fence_rcd_serial can be run by itself with command line options. This is
useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
