hmm ... that isn't even enough for a bit.ly-link ;-)

Something like
https://github.com/ClusterLabs/fence-agents/blob/main/agents/heuristics_ping/fence_heuristics_ping.py
to be used with a fencing-topology?
With a simple client on the node to be fenced and always returning success
...
Unfortunately it probably won't work in most of the interesting cases as
either the to
be fenced node isn't gonna be alive enough or connectivity is gone.
Or is it possible to make the remote-management (aka fencing-device) talk
to the
display somehow to display a configurable text.
Going with an alert agent or registering for fence-history (history would
be reported
on all nodes - thus no need for additional communication) probably isn't
gonna be
helpful either as I think you can't see partial success on a topology -
just when it
is reported to be finally killed - well to late then to do something on the
node to be killed :-(
