[Freeipmi-users] Ipmi-oem : passowrd verification timeout while not interactive

[Nicolas T]

Dear all,

I've got troubles with ipmi-oem.
I would like to script it into a bash script so I have to make in "not
interactive".

While in my bash I type the following interactive command :
 ipmi-oem  -h 10.10.7.93 -u myipmiuser -P -l User dell get-power-info

And the password after the prompt, I can get the information below :
Cumulative Energy Start Time : 12/22/11 - 16:59:49
Cumulative Energy            : 565.25 kWh
Peak Amp Time                : 11/10/11 - 21:15:10
Peak Amp                     : 1.00 A
Peak Watt Time               : 11/10/11 - 21:14:30
Peak Watt                    : 243 W


If I try to make in uninteractive, I always get a "ipmi-oem: password
verification timeout"
 ipmi-oem  -h 10.10.7.93 -u myipmiuser -p mypassword -l User dell
get-power-info
 ipmi-oem  -h 10.10.7.93 -u myipmiuser --password=mypassword -l User dell
get-power-info
 ipmi-oem  -h 10.10.7.93 -u myipmiuser -pmypassword -l User dell
get-power-info

Is this normal? How should I solve it please.
I try to get info from a Dell IDRAC6. lanched on debian squeeze with
ipmi-oem - 0.7.17.beta2

I've read it on the man page ""password  verification  timeout"  -
Password verification has timed out.  A "password invalid" error (described
above) or a generic
       "session timeout" (described below) occurred.  During this point in
the protocol it cannot be differentiated which occurred."
But can't get what i mean!!????!


Thank you,
JC
