Hi, I finally got around to take a look at this. Sadly, I can't think of anything else than just some default time-out. Time-out and retry information is passed in struct ipmi_session, which is not available in Open interface nor makes sense there anyway(right). And I'm not sure about extending ipmi_openipmi_send_cmd() parameters, because it could "break" something. Or does somebody have any idea? Except leave it be as it is or "hardcode" time-out eg. 5-20s or whatever. Thanks, Z. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once. Port to many.
