service status from RACADM, use the getremoteservicesstatus command.

Logging in to iDRAC using public key
authentication
You can log in to the iDRAC over SSH without entering a password. You can also send a single RACADM command as a command line
argument to the SSH application. The command line options behave like remote RACADM since the session ends after the command is
completed.
For example:
Logging in:
ssh username@<domain>
or
ssh username@<IP_address>
