JSA

An ipmitool wrapper.

Documentation

It simplifies ipmitool invocation by,

• adding profile support (a profile is a combination of any of hostname, username, password, and interface),

  jsa -r node132 power status instead of ipmitool -H 192.168.10.132 -U user -P pass -I lanplus power status

• adding scripting support,

  jsa -r node132 ps instead of ipmitool -H 192.168.10.132 -U user -P pass -I lanplus power status

• adding some built-in commands like autosol,

  jsa ... autosol instead of ipmitool ... power off; ipmitool ... sol deactivate; ipmitool ... sol activate | tee sol.log

• hostname auto completion,

  jsa -H 132 ... instead of ipmitool -H 192.168.10.132 ...

• and maybe more in future.
