ipmish [option]

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.

--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

ipmish 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.

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. ipmish
