There are a couple of "libipmi" libraries out there, actually, but I do not believe ipmitool uses any of them.
If you want a script-based interface to ipmi from a shell script, ipmitool is a good way to do this. There is also ipmiutil (http://ipmiutil.sourceforge.net/). OpenIPMI provides direct perl and python access, if you want that. If you want programmatic access from C, you have OpenIPMI (http://openipmi.sourceforge.net) and freeipmi (http://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi) libraries. I'm the author of OpenIPMI, so that's my preference, but freeipmi is fine. The only thing to be careful of (as with all free software) is that you comply with the licenses, as freeipmi is licensed under the GPL. -corey Amit Kumar wrote: > > > hello All, > > I am a newbie on ipmitool.
