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 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.  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_cmdlang(7).  See  that  for
       the details on most commands.  The IPMI manual that comes with OpenIPMI will also be quite
       handy.

       openipmish defines some 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 scripting.  This lets you turn that  function
              on and off.
