I'm not quite sure what you mean by "a linux command".  Many Linux
distributions distribute FreeIPMI, so there's a very good chance the
FreeIPMI bmc-info is the one that comes with your Linux distro.  Of the
major open source IPMI projects I know of, FreeIPMI is the only one
that has a "bmc-info" tool.  I can't say if a vendor has implemented a
bmc-info.

The "internal error" could be a multitude of problems, typically
related to system specific errors.  Can you provide a debug dump trace?
