You have a couple of options. You can write a program to execute your commands opening ipmitool in a pty. TCL expect is probably the most famous here, though there is pexect in Python and probably something for most any language. I don't know of a way to do this from a shell script, though. At least the OpenIPMI library has the ability to open a SOL connection directly from C, Python, or Perl. Then you can do whatever you want. This will require some learning. There are probably other options available, too. The first is probably the easiest. -corey > > Thanks a lot in advance, > Gabriel > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored > by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all > things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to > news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
