<div dir="auto">Hi,</div>
<div dir="auto"><br></div>
<div dir="auto">I've had a request, that I set up the computers here to turn themselves</div>
<div dir="auto">on in the morning shortly before people start to arrive. My first</div>
<div dir="auto">coherent thought on the matter (after the initial "say WHAT?") was that</div>
<div dir="auto">maybe I could possibly make it happen with Wake On LAN somehow, but I'm</div>
<div dir="auto">discovering that despite how old WOL is, there's a disturbing amount of</div>
<div dir="auto">variety, from one computer to another, in terms of whether and to what</div>
<div dir="auto">extent the firmware implements WOL. (Most of our computers use onboard</div>
<div dir="auto">LAN, as opposed to expansion-slot NICs.)</div>
<div dir="auto"><br></div>
<div dir="auto">So now I'm wondering if there's some more reliable mechanism, that I'm</div>
<div dir="auto">not aware of, to automatically power-on computers that have been shut</div>
<div dir="auto">down for the night.</div>
