Save Command Results to a File That Can Be Overwritten

Use the -outcoption when you want to overwrite data that is stored in previously written files. For example, at 11:00 A.M. you capture fan probe RPM readings for fan probe 0 on your system and write the results to a file called fans.txt. You type:

omreport chassis fans index=0 -outc fans.txt

Partial results written to the file are:

Index	: 0
Status	: OK
Probe Name	: System Board Fan 1 RPM
Reading	: 2380RPM
Minimum Warning Threshold	: 600RPM
Maximum Warning Threshold	: 5700RPM
Minimum Failure Threshold	: 500RPM
Maximum Failure Threshold	: 6000RPM

Four hours later, you repeat the command. You have no interest in the 11:00 A.M. snapshot as written to fans.txt. You type the same command:

omreport chassis fans index=0 -outc fans.txt

The 3:00 P.M. data overwrites the 11:00 A.M. data in the fans.txt file.

Fans.txt now reads as follows:

Index	: 0
Status	: OK
Probe Name	: System Board Fan 1 RPM
Reading	: 3001RPM
Minimum Warning Threshold	: 700RPM
Maximum Warning Threshold	: 5500RPM
Minimum Failure Threshold	: 500RPM
Maximum Failure Threshold	: 6000RPM

You cannot refer to the previous command results to compare the earlier fan probe 0 output with the present output because in using the -outcoption, you overwrote the fans.txt file.
