The issue
Providing a privilege command option (-L <PRIV>) to a list of arguments "silences" the command result output, when the result is expected to be an error.
IPMITOOL Version
ipmitool version 1.8.19.16.g81b8242
To Reproduce
Provide -L USER command option to a command requiring a higher privilege, e.g.:
$ ipmitool -L USER -I lanplus -U test_user -P some_pass -H 11.22.33.44 lan print 1
Expected behavior
Error message output in console:
IPMI command failed: Insufficient privilege level
Actual behavior
No error messages.
Additional context
- The same command reproduced, but with the
-voption for verbose output:
$ ipmitool -L USER -I lanplus -U test_user -P some_pass -H 11.22.33.44 lan print 1
