| I have FreeIPMI-0.1.3 version on my client and server machine.I have
| some problems regarding FISH.
| 
| 1.Does Fish works over the LAN as IPMIPING and IPMIPOWER.
`----
We are closer to 0.2.0 release, which is a major revamp of 0.1.3. 
Under 0.2.0 all tools work both in-band (kcs, ssif, smic) and
out-of-band (lan). Look out for the command line arguments. You can
choose driver type and ip-address, password etc.

Please subscribe yourself to address@hidden mailing list.

If you are in hurry, we recommend you to use the code from CVS.

| 2.In gnu ipmi Documentation it is given that Fish works inband as
| well as outband.But i m unable to find out any fish option to
| connect to remote machine and get information about that machine.
| 
| 3.Only Discover command works over the LAN.
| 
| 4. sir i didnt found any command of fish in document which works
| over the LAN.

Fish has command-line, scripting and context sensitive shell
interface. It is very easy to create neat command bindings in fish
for IPMI. But supercomputer admins at LLNL steered us towards
providing independent tools with command line options. Some of the
tools are written using fish scripting interface. In 0.2.0 lot of
the code has been re-rewritten in C from Scheme to invite more
contribution from the community. So Fish is more of a scripting and
back-end interface only as of now.

In 0.2.0, look for tools such as ipmi-probe, bmc-info, bmc-config,
bmc-watchdog, ipmiping, rmcpping, ipmi-sensors, ipmi-sel and
ipmi-pef.
