IPMI Power command does not work

[Kiran]

Last update to (line 47) "ipmi.template" missing "--" while trying to gather state of the machine

>> ${ipmipower} -h ${power_address} -u ${power_user} -p ${power_pass} "$@"

should be --stat while getting the status of the box

I don't see the "--" documented anywhere in the man page or its help text. Why do you think it's necessary?

[Kiran (ramineni)]

issue_ipmi_command() is called by get_power_state() at line:53
ipmi_state=$(issue_ipmi_command stat)

ipmipower valid option to get stat is : -s or --stat
ipmipower --help
-s, --stat Get power status of the target hosts.

[Kiran (ramineni)]

testing it little bit more best way to fix it would be change

ipmi.template:53>> ipmi_state=$(issue_ipmi_command stat)

to
ipmi_state=$(issue_ipmi_command --stat)

essentially changing "stat" to "--stat"
