Ipmipower can be run in an interactive or non-interactive mode. It
currently checks for data from stdin no matter what, but I suppose it
wouldn't be a big deal to eliminate that stdin when we know the user
won't be interacting w/ the ipmipower prompt at all.
Let me try and get a beta out for you to try later today.
