NAME

ipmiconsole.conf - specify alternate default values to ipmiconsole

DESCRIPTION

The ipmiconsole configuration file can be used to set default values to ipmiconsole when values aren't set on the command line. This allows users to avoid typing in a long list of command line options everytime ipmiconsole is executed. It can also be used to hide usernames and passwords from the ps(1) command (See KNOWN ISSUES in ipmiconsole(1) for details).

By default, the configuration file is stored at /etc/ipmiconsole.conf. But users may select a different configuration file at the command line through the --config option.

The user can still override the configuration file values by specifying the options on the command line. The configuration file does not stop a user from specifying any options on the command line.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

The following are a list of configuration options that can be specified in the configuration file. Each configuration option must be listed on a separate line. Arguments for an option are separated by any amount of whitespace. Multiple arguments are also separated by whitespace. Comments can be marked by using the pound sign ("#") character, and lines can be continued on the next using backslash ("\").

Note that it is possible to list the username and password in the configuration file. If this data is stored in a configuration file, system administrators should limit access to this file.
