+# checksel
+#
+# This script runs ipmiutil sel, writing any new records to syslog,
+# and will then clear the SEL if free space is low.
+#
+# The IPMI SEL should not normally be cleared, because the history
+# of the events is important, but if the IPMI SEL fills up, no new
+# events are logged, so saving the previous SEL events and clearing
+# the SEL must be done occasionally, as needed.
+#
+# app=`basename $0`
+# pdir=`echo $0 |sed -e "s/$app//"`
+pdir=/usr/bin
+ddir=/var/lib/ipmiutil
+# First check to see if the IPMI SEL is enabled on this system.
+# If not, do nothing else.
+$pdir/ipmiutil sel -v >/dev/null 2>&1
