-Move libremanage to your path and add a configuration. See the USAGE which will
-pop up if you make a mistake!
+First, run hidusb-relay-cmd-setup on the device its connected to. Ian
+Kelling also has a package for openwrt, not yet published. Ask him if
+you are interested.
+relay-cmd is a simple script config to use the relay from the device its
+connected to. NOT YET TESTED.
+
+libremanage is an overly complicated command that is deprecated. Some
+problems with it:
+
+* IMPORTANT: libremanage right now does ssh relay command 1; sleep; ssh
+ relay command 2. That whole thing needs to be made into a local script
+ or else if the second ssh command fails, the relay stays in the state
+ that's supposed to be temporary, making the server impossible to turn
+ on without unplugging the relay from it's power and usb ports.
+* in the config, most options should have defaults. for managers,
+ host/port/username aren't really needed, ssh_config can take care of
+ that.
+* .libremanage.json should be toml or yaml so it can have comments
+* there should be a state command which runs hidusb-relay-cmd state
+* The script's function arguments should be made more clear / documented
+
+Background:
+
+GNUtoo has been working on a similar setup. see
+https://wiki.parabola.nu/Standalone_BMC. fsf sysadmins, see rt 1346340
+for further development ideas.
