Hello Guys,
I was trying to setup power maangement for our servers from cobbler
using API.
But, the remote.py code doesn't seem to take user/password input. From
what is explained on
http://www.cobblerd.org/manuals/2.4.0/5/6_-_Power_Management.html, I
can supply power-user and power-pass at run time.
It fails,
# cobbler system poweron --name=foo --power-user=X --power-pass=Y
Usage: cobbler [options]
cobbler: error: no such option: --power-user
For us, I want to run power commands using API. Command line wont make
much sense for security purpose.
So, I had to modify remote.py to take user/password

Do you guys think if this could get into the main code? Or am I
missing something?
James can correct me if I'm wrong, but you are supposed to set the user
and password on the Power Management tab of your System entry.
