As a reminder to the reader, some shells will interpret brackets ([ and ]) for pattern matching.
Depending on your shell, it may be necessary to enclose ranged lists within quotes. For
example, in tcsh, the last example above should be executed as:
powerman --on "foo[0,4-5]"

The pmpower command is a high-level tool for manipulating remote, preconfigured power
devices connected to the Console Servers either via a serial or network connection.
pmpower [-?h] [-l device | -r host] [-o outlet] [-u username] [-p password] action
-?/-h This help message.
-l The serial port to use.
-o The outlet on the power target to apply to.
-r The remote host address for the power target.
-u Override the configured username.
-p Override the configured password.
on This action switches the specified device or outlet(s) ON.
off This action switches the specified device or outlet(s) OFF.

status This action retrieves the current status of the device or outlet.
Examples:
To turn outlet 4 of the power device connected to serial port 2 on:
# pmpower -l port02 -o 4 on
To turn an IPMI device located at IP address 192.168.1.100 to OFF (where username is 'root'
and password is 'calvin':
# pmpower -r 192.168.1.100 -u root -p calvin off
Default system Power Device actions are specified in /etc/powerstrips.xml. Custom Power
Devices can be added in /etc/config/powerstrips.xml. If an action is attempted which has not
been configured for a specific Power Device, pmpower will exit with an error.
