Details:
bmc-config and the other compatibility scripts seem to let the shell mangle
their parameters before passing them to ipmi-config.
root@epic:~# ls
bmc-core.conf
root@epic:~# bmc-config -g '*' -o
invalid category 'bmc-core.conf' specified
(yeah, I was attempting to make a backup of all setting from all
categories...)
This is because of the rather convoluted way that bmc-config patches the
--category=core option into the command line. A much simpler bmc-config.in
not suffering from the same problem would be:
#!/bin/sh
exec @CONFIGSBINDIR@/ipmi-config --category=core "$@"
