If it  is possible please use an exisiting infrastructure for fencing 
agents (branch MASTER). You can just modify get/set status in one of the 
existing (close enough) agents. If you can give me an access to this 
device for few hours, I have no problem to write it. If you will have 
any questing about writing fencing agents don't bother and ask for help.

marx,
Fence Master :)
