Well, the sample code is really not meant to be run, it's an example of
how to use the library. But you should see some output. It should
print out something like:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/sf/OpenIPMI/OpenIPMI$ sample/ipmisample lan
t-chesnee-1 623 md5 admin "" ""
INFO: 0 ipmi_lan.c(connection_up): Connection 0 to the BMC is up
INFO: 0 ipmi_lan.c(connection_up): Connection to the BMC restored
when it starts up. Then it will proceed to dump information on pretty
much everything, like:
Entity added: 7.1
Entity added: 12.3
Sensor added: 12.3.Identify Button0
Entity added: 12.2
Sensor added: 12.2.Diagnostic Btn0
.
.
.
If you are just wanting to periodically fetch a sensor, ipmitool is a
pretty good way to do it. The OpenIPMI library is meant more for
large-scale monitoring of IPMI systems; for a program that comes up,
gathers all the data, and monitors things. (Note that you can also use
perl with OpenIPMI, and in the 2.0 library python, if that's easier for
you.)
If you just want a visual display of all the sensors and the state of
the system, the openipmigui is a pretty nice tool, but you have to get
the 2.0 version of the library.
