💅 hpialarms

okay bestie, so this is hpialarms(1) — a little OpenHPI sample app that shows you all the "Alarm Control" management instruments. yes, like an actual alarm panel but make it terminal ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS

 hpialarms [-D id] [-N host[:port]] [-C <cfgfile>]
           [-a 1|0][-b 1|0][-c 1|0][-m 1|0][-n 1|0][-p 1|0][-i n][-o][-X][-h]
 hpialarms [--domain=id] [--host=host[:port]] [--cfgfile=file]
           [--diska=1|0] [--diskb=1|0] [--critical=1|0] [--major=1|0]
           [--minor=1|0] [--power=1|0] [--chassisid=n] [--all] [--debug] [--help]

like, you can spell the flags short or long, both are valid, pick your fighter 💖

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

hpialarms walks the RPT (Resource Presence Table) looking for resources that have "Alarm Control" management instruments (that's SAHPI_CTRL_LED for the nerds in the chat 🫶).

and okay, key deets: if no domain or host is selected, hpialarms just uses the default domain as specified in the openhpiclient.conf file. no cap.

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• (No Option) — Display alarm states. that's it, that's the whole vibe. run it plain and it just shows you the states 💅

🌈 Help Options:

• -h, --help — Show help options. your lil safety net when you forget everything (me fr)

🦋 Application Options:

• -c 1|0, --critical=1|0 — Set critical alarm on|off
• -m 1|0, --major=1|0 — Set major alarm on|off
• -n 1|0, --minor=1|0 — Set minor alarm on|off
• -a 1|0, --diska=1|0 — Set diska alarm on|off
• -b 1|0, --diskb=1|0 — Set diskb alarm on|off
• -p 1|0, --power=1|0 — Set power alarm on|off
• -i n, --chassisid=n — Set chassis id on for n seconds. lowkey iconic, it times itself ⏳
• -o, --all — Set all alarms off. the "everybody chill" button 😌
• -D nn, --domain=nn — Select domain id nn
• -X, --debug — Display debug messages. for when you literally need to see what's going on inside 🔍
• -N "host[:port]", --host="host[:port]" — Open session to the domain served by the daemon at the specified URL (host:port). This option overrides the OPENHPI_DAEMON_HOST and OPENHPI_DAEMON_PORT environment variables. If host contains ':' (for example IPv6 address) then enclose it in square brackets. For example: "[::1]" or "[::1]:4743". okay the bracket thing is important, don't skip it bestie, IPv6 will absolutely humble you 😭
• -C "file", --cfgfile="file" — Use passed file as client configuration file. This option overrides the OPENHPICLIENT_CONF environment variable.

 RDR[45]: ctltype=2:1 oem=0  Chassis Identify Control
 RDR[48]: ctltype=0:1 oem=10 Front Panel Power Alarm LED         state = off
 RDR[51]: ctltype=0:1 oem=13 Front Panel Minor Alarm LED         state = ON
 RDR[46]: ctltype=0:0 oem=0  Cold Reset Control
