There is an interactive shell:

./SMCIPMITool 192.168.3.31 ADMIN ADMIN shell

And the shell has all the other commands and that includes 'exec ./filename.ipmi'

If you create a script that includes a dev2iso, I think it starts a
daemon that there can only be one per SMCIPMITool process.

I've tried running multiple dev2iso's to multiple VMs but it fails silently
with the Hardware not detecting the devices.

I also noticed that the process needs to be long running.
'./SMCIPMITool 192.168.3.31 ADMIN ADMIN exec /path/to/filename.ipmi'
exits and closes down the ISO export process.

So for now we have to create the file:

cat > /tmp/bootiso.ipmi < EOF
vmwa dev2stop
vmwa dev2iso /home/hh/chef/bento/iso/en_windows_server_2012_r2_vl_x64_dvd_3319595.iso
ipmi power reset
ipmi power up
EOF

Then start up './SMCIPMITool 192.168.3.31 ADMIN ADMIN shell', and run
'exec /path/to/filename.ipmi' leaving the shell open until we finish with the disk.
