Using IPMItool
Intro
ipmitool
is a command line program used in unix-like oses to examine the current environmental states (and many other things) on the mainboard, if supported. Note that this is only available on FreeBSD 6.X and, as of this writing, I have only tested on 6.2.
Enabling
To enable IPMI usage, you first need to load the appropriate kernel module.
# kldload ipmi
To make sure it loaded correctly:
# kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 6 0xc0400000 70794c kernel 2 2 0xc0b08000 59f20 acpi.ko 3 1 0xc989f000 2d000 pf.ko 4 1 0xce122000 9000 ipmi.ko 5 1 0xce03b000 2000 smbus.ko
If you wish to make sure it's loaded on boot, add the following line to /boot/loader.conf
.
impi_load="YES"
Installing IPMItool
Now, all you need to do is install ipmitool
.
# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/ipmitool # make install clean
Using IPMItool
Below are some basic uses to get you started. man ipmitool
has a lot more info, of course.

To “drill down” into one of the above MIBS:
# ipmitool sensor get ft1.fm2.f1.speed Locating sensor record...

This barely scratches the surface of what can be done with ipmitool
