This value will be passed to the scripts in the environment variable outlet, allowing the script to address the correct outlet.

There are four possible scripts: on, off, cycle and status

When a script is run, its standard input and output is redirected to the appropriate serial port. The script receives the outlet and port in the outlet and port environment variables respectively.

The script can be anything that can be executed within the shell.

All of the existing scripts in /etc/powerstrips.xml use the pmchat utility.

pmchat works just like the standard unix "chat" program, only it ensures interoperation with the port manager.

The final options, speed, charsize, stop and parity define the recommended or default settings for the attached device.

15.10 IPMItool

The Console Server includes the ipmitool utility for managing and configuring devices that support the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) version 1.5 and version 2.0 specifications.

IPMI is an open standard for monitoring, logging, recovery, inventory, and control of hardware that is implemented independent of the main CPU, BIOS, and OS. The service processor (or Baseboard Management Controller, BMC) is the brain behind platform management and its primary purpose is to handle the autonomous sensor monitoring and event logging features.

The ipmitool program provides a simple command-line interface to this BMC. It features the ability to read the sensor data repository (SDR) and print sensor values, display the contents of the System Event Log (SEL), print Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) inventory information, read and set LAN configuration parameters, and perform remote chassis power control.

SYNOPSIS

ipmitool [-c-h-v-V]-Iopen <command>

ipmitool [-c-h-v-V]-I lan -H <hostname> [-p <port>]
