Fish - Shell for managing large number of IPMI compatible systems

Fish provides shell,extension/plug-in and scripting interfaces for libfreeipmi. As a shell, the user has access to both in-band and out-of-band access to the host BMC through a rich set of IPMI commands.

Sysadmins can add features or customize the system using the Extension interface (implemented in Scheme). For example, Pushing System Event Log data to a MySQL server, Triggering alarm upon Platform Chassis Intrusion, Generating email for critical platform events like processor temperature above threshold limit, fan failure, or memory errors. In fact, most of the functionalities of this shell are themselves implemented as Fish extensions.

Fish also provides scripting interface for writing command-line utilities. "sensors", "sel", "bmc-info", "bmc-config" are actually Fish scripts.
