Right.  I have a script with a fragment

  # x2200s.  Default is -W authcap.
  /usr/sbin/ipmi-sensors -E -h 'ipmi0[00-59]' --always-prefix -g temperature 
--sdr-cache-recreate -Q
  # x4100s
  /usr/sbin/ipmi-sensors -E -h 'ipmi[060-103]' --always-prefix -g temperature 
-W endianseq --sdr-cache-recreate -Q

piped into a loop which mangles it for gmetric, though there it's not
much of a problem to split the ranges, obviously.

I meant more like the Windows (sorry!) .ini system, which does get used
elsewhere, i.e.

  [section1]
  ...
  [section2]
  ...

but I don't know that there's any particular advantage to it.
