Application Notes Related to Expect Scripts
spconsole
The native command line of the service processor. Enters interactive pass-

connects the service processor output directly to its standard output and its
standard input to the service processor input.
Note: ssh must be invoked with the -t option when this mode is used.
devconsole
Enters a console (also known as Device Console) session on a server whose
service processor supports console access to the server or on a server or other
device that supports device console access through its Ethernet port.
Note: ssh must be invoked with the -t option when this mode is used.
log_sensors
Retrieves sensor data in a standard format.
Note: ssh must be invoked with the -t option when this mode is used.
