Systems and methods for accessing Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH)-command line protocol (CLP) commands as a web service are provided. In one form, an information handling system having access to CLP commands within a SMASH includes an application program interface operable to provide access to CLP commands using a universal resource locator (URL) address. The system further includes a translator operable to convert the URL address into a CLP command and a command parser operable to parse the CLP command to execute the command. Responses to URL encoded CLP commands are communicated via the web service to a client and presented within the client's web browser.
