## 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)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/ipmicmdlang/7/markdown).  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.
