Re: [hobbit] ipmi digestion script w/ graph?

["Benjamin P. August" <baugust (at) stanford.edu>]

Call me crazy (and no offense to the maintainer of Devmon), but I  
thought it'd be easier to get a value straight from the ESM via IPMI  
on the client and pass it to the server through the usual Hobbit  
channels rather than deal with OMSA, SNMP (which I find to be a  
misnomer), and Devmon. Not to mention the firewall rules I'd have to  
add for SNMP, which adds a couple layers of bureaucracy to the whole  
thing.

There was a BB script on deadcat, but it doesn't do what I want, so  
I'm writing an ext script now, and will probably share the files (such  
as they are) with y'all when they're done.
