Definitely not. If you do the monitor action from the command
line does that also return the unexpected exit code:

# stonith -t external/rackpdu community="empisteftiko" names_oid=".1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.4.4.2.1.4" ... -lS

Which pacemaker release do you run? I couldn't reproduce this
with a recent Pacemaker.

Thanks,
