Comment 0 for bug 1053391

If ipmipower gets EOF on stdin, then it fails with no output and an exit status of 1.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Observe that this works: ipmipower -h <host ip> -u <username> -p <password> --stat
2. Observe that this fails: ipmipower -h <host ip> -u <username> -p <password> --stat </dev/null

Expected behaviour: ipmipower is a command line tool. If it needs no input on stdin normally, then it should work regardless of what stdin is connected to.

Actual behaviour: ipmipower fails when stdin is connected to /dev/null, such as when called from a well-behaved Unix daemon.
