root@palmetto:~# time obmcutil 2>&1 > /dev/null

real    0m3.301s
user    0m3.030s
sys     0m0.230s

root@palmetto:~# obmcutil poweron
 = None

The above is really confusing as to what is actually going on... does
that mean success? Does that mean there's no power? Does that mean no
action was taken?
