openipmish(1) Shell interface to an IPMI system openipmish(1)
NAME
openipmish - Shell interface to an IPMI system
SYNOPSIS
openipmish [option]
DESCRIPTION
The openipmish 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.
openipmish 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 mes-
sages 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. openipmish must be compiled with
SNMP code enabled for this option to be available.
--help Help output
COMMANDS
openipmish follows the standard command syntax defined in ipmi_cmd-
lang(7). See that for the details on most commands. The IPMI manual
that comes with OpenIPMI will also be quite handy.
openipmish 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, openipmish redisplays the command line when an event
comes in. This is nice for interactive use, but bad for script-
ing. This lets you turn that function on and off. openipmish
