GNU FreeIPMI

https://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi/
Platform management, including sensor and power monitoring

FreeIPMI is a collection of in-band and out-of-band IPMI software in accordance with the IPMI v1.5/2.0 specification. These programs provide a set of interfaces for platform management. Common functionality includes sensor monitoring, system event monitoring, power control and serial-over-LAN.
