I am wanting to check the status of dell systems for hardware errors
(amber lights) using the bmcutils.

For example:
ipmish -ip <hostname> -u <username> -p <password> sel get

returns


1=      2005/04/05 17:34:19,    #81     Event Logging Disabled, Log Area
Reset/Clear
2=      2006/01/13 14:51:56,    #1      Memory, Correctable ECC/other
correctable memory error
3=      2006/01/13 14:51:56,    #1      Memory, Correctable ECC/other
correctable memory error
4=      2006/01/13 14:51:56,    #1      Memory, Correctable ECC/other
correctable memory error
5=      2006/01/13 14:51:56,    #1      Memory, Correctable ECC/other
correctable memory error
6=      2006/01/13 14:51:56,    #1      Memory, Correctable ECC/other
correctable memory error
7=      2006/01/13 14:51:57,    #1      Memory, Correctable ECC/other
correctable memory error
8=      2006/01/13 14:51:58,    #1      Memory, Correctable ECC/other
correctable memory error
9=      2006/01/13 14:51:59,    #1      Memory, Correctable ECC/other
correctable memory error
10=     2006/01/13 14:52:00,    #1      Memory, Correctable ECC/other
correctable memory error
11=     2006/01/13 14:52:00,    #1      Memory, Correctable ECC/other
correctable memory error
12=     2006/01/13 14:52:00,    #6      Event Logging Disabled,
Correctable Memory Error Logging Disabled


if there are errors.  But basically I want an alert if there is more than
one line in this output.

I have not run across a plug that would allow for this, does any one know
of one that might suffice.  BTW, the bmcutils are only installed on a
couple of the nodes in the cluster so I need to run the ipmish command on
a remote host not the node that I am checking for.  Example:  host242 is
the nagios server and also has the ipmish/bmc utilities installed, and can
provide the information for all hosts.

Thanks

Mike
