# oob-power-on $builderid
# oob-power-off $builderid
# oob-power-cycle $builderid
# oob-console $builderid
# oob-factory-reset $builderid    # boots on a reset image which reimages the machine while keeping creds
# oob-power-wash $builderid    # boots on a reset image which cleans the machine completely and wipes creds

Ideally we put a list of those commands in the motd for root so documentation is easily findable when sshing to the OOB machine.

ipmitool is kind of annoying to use (especially for occasional users), and we have some stuff like the IP numbering scheme/convention being used that also needs some extra care/remembering. Ideally we'd have a collection of simple high-level scripts to manage the builders. Proposed API: ``` # oob-power-on $builderid # oob-power-off $builderid # oob-power-cycle $builderid # oob-console $builderid # oob-factory-reset $builderid # boots on a reset image which reimages the machine while keeping creds # oob-power-wash $builderid # boots on a reset image which cleans the machine completely and wipes creds ``` Ideally we put a list of those commands in the motd for root so documentation is easily findable when sshing to the OOB machine.
