The simplest way is to add a dedicated IPMI tab for that, for that you'd need
to look into navigation.php and add a couple of functions there: one (look for
samples in interface.php) to render a panel with a "fire" button (and with some
radios or whatever is needed), and another (samples in ophandler.php) to handle
the pressing of that button. The latter function would actually call the
ipmitool to do something.
And, if you'd want it to look more consistently, you'd need to register a third
function (trigger), which would tell, if your IPMI panel works with a
particular object or not. Then the tab would be only displayed where it makes
use (and not on every switch, patch panel and so).
Once you finish that, you can put all that into local.php and your addon will
likely survive RackTables upgrades (and you can put it into contribs directory
of RackTables, if you want).
