Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)

ipmitool found under (/usr/sfw/bin/ipmitool) is a cool tool for controlling IPMI enabled devices. It can run either locally or remotely (though highly insecure *read man ipmitool) and can serve several purposes from monitoring (ipmitool chassis status) to power off / restart machine (ipmitool power off) etc.
