Hi Zdenek - nice to see you are thinking about the PEF interface. Much better than clumsy "raw" commands. Some comments on each item:

The PEF filters themselves - each PEF entry has a lot of parameters. Are you considering simply all numeric values for each byte, or names for values? I would suggest that in many cases the last 9 bytes aren't used, hence if not supplied then default to zero. >> >> 30.6 Set Last Processed Event ID >> * unresolved despite it pretty much is '<something> <SEL_id>', but to >> figure out name of <something> :) >> >> 30.7 Get Last Processed Event ID >> * 'pef status' -> I have no idea, but 'status' is misleading/wrong >> given the context, although Oracle's documentation puts it in a way it >> makes sense, quote: ``Print the current PEF status (the last SEL entry >> processed by the BMC, etc).'' >> >> 30.8 PET Acknowledge >> * 'pef pet ack <params>' >> >> 30.7 Alert Immediate >> * unresolved - I haven't figured out this one I have in the past used a dummy sensor number to make an alert immediate, but it does not seem to be a universal solution.
