Description Michael Locher 2004-10-12 12:56:15 UTC

Modern server hardware supports IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface).
Linux Kernel 2.6 supports host drivers.
Gentoo needs an userspace tool to access these services.

ipmitool is such a tool. it contains a commandline interface (called ipmitool) and a daemon (called ipmievd) which reports IPMI events to syslog.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -s ipmitool
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
no ebuild found...

Expected Results:  
ebuild for ipmitool in portage

ebuild for ipmitool

NB: An init.d script for ipmievd is missing. ipmievd should be started after
the logger.

lv: Hope you don't mind. I'm taking this as I need it for work (and so I get to maintain it too!)

in cvs now. An init.d script for ipmievd is still needed (I only need the ipmitool part).
