Control Programs
Dataprobe provides a remote control program to control iBoot directly. This
program is useful for creating simple desktop icons for specific power
functions for one or more iBoots. It can also be run from a command line
and can be called by other programs. (Batch files etc.)
For example, ibootctl.exe can be called from server monitoring programs
such as WhatsUp Gold™, Servers Alive™ or any program that provides for
an external program to be run upon loss of a server.
The iBoot Control Center program allows control of multiple iBoot units. This
program provides the ideal means of monitoring and managing a large
number of iBoots distributed throughout your organization.
Both programs are available from Dataprobe at
www.dataprobe.com/power/iboottools.html
Direct TCP/Telnet Control
For application developers, iBoot also supports control via direct TCP
communications. To control iBoot in this manner requires opening a socket
to iBoot and sending specific commands. Information on the required
techniques and protocol are available at Dataprobe's web site at
www.dataprobe.com/power/iboottools.html. Dataprobe can provide perl
scripts and other programmer resources to assist in integration of iBoot into
any system.
