Abstract
Technologies are provided herein for executing SMASH CLP commands through a Web-based GUI. A baseboard management controller (“BMC”) includes a Web server program and a SMASH CLP engine. The SMASH CLP engine is configured to execute SMASH CLP commands with respect to managed entities or targets within a host computer system. A software interface is also provided between the Web server program and the SMASH CLP engine. Through the interface, the Web server can transmit SMASH CLP commands to the SMASH CLP engine for execution and receive the results of the execution of the SMASH CLP commands. The BMC stores a Web page which, when rendered by a Web browser, provides a GUI for the creation and execution of SMASH CLP commands by the SMASH CLP engine.
