.NET /script/T-SQL Code to deliberately cause Cluster Failover

I'm looking for help in locating a script that would allow deliberately
causing a cluster to failover. (For demonstration and testing purposes.)
And ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Arnie Rowland
You can use the CLUSTER.EXE command from the command line prompt to force a
failure. Look up Cluster.exe in the on-line help files for Windows Server.
Everything you can do from the GUI, you can do from the command-line.
Example:
Cluster MyClusterName resource MYSQLCluster Resource /fail
Will cause the specific resource to fail. You can then watch how the
cluster reacts.

should know better than to answer posts right after lunch.
