NAME
       ipmi - Shell interface to an IPMI system


SYNOPSIS
       ipmish [option]


DESCRIPTION
       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.


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 mes-
	      sage 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


COMMANDS
       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	 lan-
       guage.  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.
