action
The action specifies the action for the script to take. The actions are listed
below. Not all service processor/device types implement all of the listed
actions. For example, the iLO type does not have a sensors reading feature, so
the sensors action is not supported for iLO-type servers. See “SP/Device
Expect Script Exit Codes” on page 371 for the correct way to handle an
unexpected action argument.
