The id appears on the web page in the list of available devices types to configure.
The outlets describe targets that the scripts can control. For example a power control board may control several different
outlets. The port-id is the native name for identifying the outlet. 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, it's 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.
