Hi Al, sorry for my late answer - I've been at OSDC and had the chance to talk about IPMI - I mentioned the possibilities of ipmimonitoring/freeipmi there ;-) http://www.thomas-krenn.com/de/wiki/Event-News:_OSDC_2010_The_Power_of_IPMI

(there'll be a new one when FreeIPMI > 0.9.1 comes out, although I *think* it'll be forward compatible.) Thank you for your tip. Although I'm not that good in Perl this is a good basis for me. Maybe I have time in about two weeks to write a first plugin-version (in the kind of our current plugin, based on bash/awk and support for verbository levels and so on) based on the current version of ipmimonitoring, that ships with RHEL/Ubuntu/Debian(Squeeze) - so that it works out of the box with these distributions. Once I have something in this area, I'll let you know on the mailinglist. Do you have a approximate time plan when you expect version 0.9.1?
