rev192 snapshot: check_ipmi.pl.in

Example run (w/ & w/o verbose mode):

$ sudo -H -u nagios ./check_ipmi.pl [hostname].[domain]
||IPMI OK: (Ambient_Temp = 25 degrees C, Fan_Redundancy = 0x01, Planar_Temp = 36 degrees C, Riser_Temp = 32 degrees C, Temp = 43 degrees C, Temp1 = 50 degrees C, Temp2 = 40 degrees C, Temp3 = 40 degrees C) 

$ echo $?
0

In large scale environments with shared password groups, I recommend using symbolic links and UFQDNs within Nagios hosts.cfg(5) to manage passwords:

$ ls -al /usr/local/etc/check_ipmi/

Nagios checkcommands.cfg(5) example: 
# 'check_ipmi' command
define command{
        command_name    check_ipmi
        command_line    /path/check_ipmi.pl $HOSTNAME$
     }
