I noticed this issue a few months back and fixed it in the main branch,
but elected not to backport the fixes to the 1.1.X branch. Is this
something that you consider a reasonable importance to backport? Or can
you wait for the newer release (hopefully 1-2 month range).
I can wait. I have already hacked around the issue in the mean time. Are there other commands that report incorrect exit codes?
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?
They were only added to the interactive mode to aid with tools (most
notably powerman) that interact solely with the ipmipower interactive
mode. Similar options exist in ipmi-chassis.
If it's easier for scripting, I could add command line options for those
in ipmipower, are they something that would be really useful for you?
I don't really need the ability, was just curious. Spend your time on the next release instead of back porting this. However having the identify status is handy. How can I reproduce the status functionality at the chassis level?
