Fence status - beginners problems!!

Hi,

I'd like to try and capture a fence status from Maestro and move it to another file, but each time I try it fails.

For example, when using Maestro (conman) I enter:

status

I then get the fence status showing as 0

I then create a .dat file:

touch statustest.dat

If I then try to show this fence status in statustest.dat, it doesn't work...the file remains blank

echo 'conman status' > statustest.dat

I'm pretty new to this....any ideas?

Thanks! Tim

FENCE_AGENT(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    FENCE_AGENT(8)

NAME
fence_ipmilan - Fence agent for IPMI over LAN fence_ilo3 - Fence agent for HP iLO3 (symlink) fence_ilo4 - Fence agent for HP iLO4 (symlink) fence_idrac - Fence agent for Dell iDRAC (symlink) fence_imm - Fence agent for IBM Integrated Management Module (symlink) DESCRIPTION
fence_ipmilan is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with machines controlled by IPMI. This agent calls support software using ipmitool (http://ipmitool.sf.net/). To use fence_ipmilan with HP iLO 3 or HP iLO 4 you have to enable lanplus option (lanplus / -P) and increase wait after operation to 4 sec- onds (power_wait=4 / -T 4) fence_ipmilan accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent. fence_ipmilan can be run by itself with command line options. This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
