Power on foo0,foo4,foo5: powerman --on foo[0,4-5]
As a reminder to the reader, some shells will interpret brackets ([ and ]) for pattern matching.
Depending on your shell, it may be necessary to enclose ranged lists within quotes. For
example, in tcsh, the last example above should be executed as:
powerman --on "foo[0,4-5]"
pmpower
The pmpower command is a high-level tool for manipulating remote, preconfigured power
devices connected to the Console Servers either via a serial or network connection.

-o The outlet on the power target to apply to
-r The remote host address for the power target
-u Override the configured username

Examples:
To turn outlet 4 of the power device connected to serial port 2 on:

To turn an IPMI device located at IP address 192.168.1.100 to OFF (where username is 'root'
and password is 'calvin':

Default system Power Device actions are specified in /etc/powerstrips.xml. Custom Power
Devices can be added in /etc/config/powerstrips.xml. If an action is attempted which has not
been configured for a specific Power Device, pmpower will exit with an error.
