hello -
this still fails:
# ipmitool sel time set \"$(date "+\%m/\%d/\%Y \%T")\"
Specified time could not be parsed
i don't think that shell escapes are the issue. the same command on
the same system will succeed or fail depending on the installed version
of the ipmitool package. here is a transcript of a test without the
added complexity of the `date` call. it still shows the version-
specific behavior:
# ipmitool -V
ipmitool version 1.8.18
# ipmitool sel time set "12/14/2023 11:40:47"
12/14/2023 11:40:47
# apt -y install ipmitool=1.8.19-4
[...]
# ipmitool -V
ipmitool version 1.8.19
# ipmitool sel time set "12/14/2023 11:40:47"
IANA PEN registry open failed: No such file or directory
Specified time could not be parsed
# dpkg -i /tmp/ipmitool_1.8.18-10.1_amd64.deb
[...]
# ipmitool -V
ipmitool version 1.8.18
# ipmitool sel time set "12/14/2023 11:40:47"
12/14/2023 11:40:47
as far as i can tell 1.8.18 works as expected and 1.8.19 does not. for
what it's worth the "IANA PEN registry" message does not appear when
testing with 1.8.19-6 but the "Specified time could not be parsed"
error remains.
i also tried escaping quotes without effect:
# ipmitool sel time set \"12/14/2023 11:40:47\"
# ipmitool sel time set \""12/14/2023 11:40:47\""
thank you.
