GNU FreeIPMI

The GNU FreeIPMI project is a powerful system management tool that includes both remote-console (out-of-band) and system management software (in-band) based on IPMI v1.5/2.0 specification. It provides KCS, SMIC, SSIF, LAN drivers, and a C Library (libfreeipmi) for superior performance. Additionally, the project includes IPMI Locate, FreeIPMI SHell (fish), Watchdog Daemon (bmc-watchdog), Sensors (sensors), System Event Log (sel), BMC Info (bmc-info), BMC Config (bmc-config), IPMI Power (ipmipower), IPMI Ping (ipmiping), RMCP Ping (rmcpping), Gratuitous ARP Daemon (garpd), and IPMI Raw Interface (ipmi-raw).

To compile the program, first, run the configure script included with the source tar ball. It works like any other standard GNU `autoconf' created script. For a complete list of options, try `configure --help'. It is essential to note that if compiling FreeIPMI source from CVS, run the `./autogen.sh' script before `./configure.' The installation process requires running `./configure --prefix=/usr', followed by `make' and `make install.'

Overall, GNU FreeIPMI is an impressive software solution that offers an array of features for remote-console and system management software. Its user-friendly interface makes it easy for anyone to use, while its robust performance ensures that it can handle even the most challenging of tasks. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for system management software.
