Hi, I'd like to write a python script to gather data from serial over lan but I can't seem to find a place to start with IPMI. I've looked at OpenIPMI's python bindings but there doesn't seem to be any documentation. Perhaps I can use the subprocess module and ipmitool? I'm not sure that would be simple though. Does anyone have any experience with this? How can I capture serial over lan data in python? Thanks.

Have you seen this thread that has a sample OpenIPMI python program?

And the OpenIPMI documentation (pdf)?

I looked at the pdf and thread but I can't seem to find much on serial over lan. It looks like OpenIPMI might not support serial (section 3.10 in the pdf).
