Thats a valid point. Though FreeIPMI's "sel" utility displays all the
human readable fields equivalent to Intel's tool, there are some more
useful info inside the SEL. We need hex dump feature to capture the
entire state.

  echo -n "Capturing IPMI System Event Log ..."
  sel >> /var/log/sel 2>&1
  sel --dump-hex=/var/log/sel.hex --append
  sel --delete-all
  echo "done"

Ian, please note the "--append" argument.
