MEATWARE Module for Linux-HA STONITH

ABOUT:

  This is a port of the "meatware" stomith method found in the GFS
  distribution (see http://globalfilesystem.org/) to the Linux-HA
  project. It notifies operators if a node needs to be reset and
  waits for confirmation.

USAGE:

  The module can be used like any other stonith module. It will
  syslog a message at CRIT level if it needs an operator to power-cycle
  a node on its behalf.
  To confirm that a manual reset has been done, execute

    "meatclient -c <host>".

  If you abort the confirmation, the module will report that the reset
  has failed.
