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 out‐
              put.   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.
