If you do not specify an input file, wbemexec will assume all
information is coming from stdin.
By default, the operation is executed on the local host, but the
command allows specifying a different hostname.
If no port number is specified, wbemexec first attempts to connect to
the CIM Server on the default port for wbem-http service; if that
fails, it tries the default port for wbem-https.
By default, the request is sent as an HTTP/1.1 request, using the
HTTP M-POST method. You can choose to specify a method (either
POST or M-POST) and the HTTP version (1.0 or 1.1).
You can specify that SSL (Secured Socket Layer) protocol be used
between wbemexec and the CIM Server. Be sure to use this option if
you specify a host name and port number that expects clients to
connect using HTTPS.
If you have specified a host name or a port number, you can specify
the username and password to be used for the connection to the CIM
Server.
By default, wbemexec has a 20 second timeout. You can specify a
different timeout.
You do not need root permission to use wbemexec. You can use
wbemexec only when CIM Server is running.
