'ipmitool sel elist' instead of 'list' (note the leading 'e') is
also worth a view.

You can also read individual sensors like this:

	ipmitool sensor get "PROC Fan"

(Yeah, unfortunately with ipmitool, you need to use sensor names
rather than IDs :-/).

IIRC there are also Nagios monitoring plugins for IPMI sensors...
Update: found something: http://www.qwirx.com/check_ipmi
Maybe just google for 'nagios ipmi' :)

HTH.
