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.
