NAME
ipmi - Shell interface to an IPMI system
SYNOPSIS
ipmish [option]
DESCRIPTION
The ipmish is a command interpreter that
gives the full power of the OpenIPMI library to a user-level
command language. It is designed so it can easily be driven with a
scripting language like TCL, it has well-formed output.
ipmish starts up with no connections or anything of that
nature. You must enter commands to make connections to domains.
OPTIONS
- --dmsg
- Turn on message debugging, this will dump all messages to debug
log output.
- --drawmsg
- Turn on raw message debugging, this will dump all low-level
messages to debug log output. This differes from normal message
debugging in that all protocol messages are also dumped, not just
IPMI messages.
- --dmem
- Turn on memory debugging, this will cause memory allocation and
deallocations to be checked. When the program terminates, it will
dump all memory that was not properly freed (leaked).
- --dlock
- Turn on lock debugging, this will check lock operations to make
sure that locks are help in all the proper places and make sure
that locks are properly nested.
- --snmp
- Enable the SNMP trap handler. ipmish must be compiled
with SNMP code enabled for this option to be available.
- --help
- Help output
COMMANDS
ipmish follows the standard command syntax defined in
See that for the details on most commands. The IPMI manual that
comes with OpenIPMI will also be quite handy.
ipmish defines two commands that are not in the standard
command language. These are:
- read
- Read and execute commands from the given file.
- exit
- Quit
- redisp_cmd on|off
- Normally, ipmish redisplays the command line when an event
comes in. This is nice for interactive use, but bad for scripting.
This lets you turn that function on and off.
