Documentation stopgap for #219: the ipmicli.cmd shim runs through cmd.exe, which expands %NAME%, drops ^ and runs what follows an unquoted &, |, < or > before the CLI sees its arguments, from PowerShell as well. No batch file can avoid that, and the launcher replacement stays with #219.

  • cli.md, Passwords and BMC key: explains what cmd.exe does to such a value and tells Windows users to give the password at the prompt or with -pf, and such a path or name through java -jar.
  • installation.md, launcher paragraph: one sentence pointing to that section.
  • get.ps1: two lines in the installer's closing message.

Site built locally (mvn site), both pages render as intended. get.ps1 parses (PowerShell parser, 0 errors).

…racters (#219)

The ipmicli.cmd shim runs through cmd.exe, which expands %NAME%, drops ^
and runs what follows an unquoted &, |, < or > before the CLI sees its
arguments, from PowerShell as well. Until the launcher is replaced, the
cli.md password section, the installation page and the installer's closing
message tell Windows users to give such a password at the prompt or with
-pf, and such a path or name through java -jar.

Only a %NAME% reference expands everywhere; ^ & | < > are altered outside
double quotes, which PowerShell adds only around a value with a space.
