Hello Andrew,
the ipmitool code in this area has not changed for years. If I remember correctly, there was a change in the shell where a parameter was activated by default. Can you escape the outer "? Like this ipmitool sel time set \"$(date "+%m/%d/%Y %T")\" CU Jörg -- New: GPG Fingerprint: 63E0 075F C8D4 3ABB 35AB 30EE 09F8 9F3C 8CA1 D25D GPG key (long) : 09F89F3C8CA1D25D GPG Key : 8CA1D25D CAcert Key S/N : 0E:D4:56 Jörg Frings-Fürst D-54470 Lieser git: https://git.jff.email/cgit/ Skype: jff-skype@jff.email Jami: joergfringsfuerst Telegram: @joergfringsfuerst Matrix: @joergff:matrix.snct-gmbh.de My wish list: - Please send me a picture from the nature at your home.
