[Freeipmi-devel] ipmipower returns wrong exit status

[Corey Osman]

Its crucial that the return status actually return the correct results.  ipmipower should return 1

version = ipmipower - 1.1.6

Incorrect result

----------------------

 ipmipower --username=admin --hostname=192.168.1.22 --password=password --on

192.168.1.22: authentication type unavailable for attempted privilege level

address@hidden lib]# echo $?

0

vs

correct result

------------------

bmc-info --username=admin --hostname=192.168.1.22 --password=creative 

bmc-info: authentication type unavailable for attempted privilege level

address@hidden lib]# echo $?

1

Also, why does the ipmipower command allow me to use identify-on, identify-off, identify-status from the command line. These options are supported under the interactive command console, why are they missing from the command line?

Thanks,

Corey Osman
