  Thanks for the script. I've upgraded to fence-1.32.45-1.0.2 and
dropped in the replacement script and here's what I see:

  I'm pretty sure this is coming about because of something around line
664 which is expecting "Outlet Control" to be option number 3 while it's
actually option number 2. The problem is that you can't rely on the
option number even for a known firmware version as the number of options
in that menu will change depending on other factors (like whether you
are logged in to the switch as an administrative user or not).

  Ante Karamatić is ending up in a different menu (Phase Monitor), but I
guess it's essentially the same problem.

	Thanks,
