history

Project history and usage

sispmctl controls programmable USB power strips from the command line or an embedded web interface.

Project history

The repository credits Mondrian Nuessle and collaborators for 2005–2011, Pete Hildebrandt for 2011–2016, and Heinrich Schuchardt for 2015–2023. Device support encompasses Gembird Silver Shield and later Energenie-branded power strips.

Adoption history

The official site lists Debian, Gentoo, openSUSE, OpenWrt and Ubuntu packages. It also reports successful use on Solaris and older macOS releases, reflecting portability through libusb and POSIX interfaces.

How it is used

Users scan for supported devices, switch or query outlets, and program schedules. The optional web interface supports Basic authentication using a dedicated password file.

Why package nerds care

sispmctl illustrates how a small packaged utility can expose specialized USB hardware to shell automation. Linux integration includes device-access rules and an optional systemd service.

Timeline

2005: Beginning of the earliest contributor period credited in the README.
2006: Repository records an initial revision.

Related projects

libusb supplies USB access; udev and systemd provide documented Linux integration.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.

local files

Configuration and credential file locations

These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval.

Configuration files

Config paths the tool may read or write during local use.

Linux: /lib/udev/rules.d/60-sispmctl.rules

Credential files

Credential-bearing paths to review before unattended agent runs.
