The easy and cheap way to accomplish something like that is to put a timer between the machine's power supply and the power outlet, and use a script started at boot to switch the machine off in a controlled fashion after a specified time before the timer runs out. The only inflexibility in this scheme is that timers usually require a time= to switch on and a time to switch off. So if you need the time that the machine is "awake" variable, it won't be as easy.=20 Roland --=20 R.F.Smith http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/ [plain text _non-HTML_ PGP/GnuPG encrypted/signed email much appreciated] pgp: 1A2B 477F 9970 BA3C 2914 B7CE 1277 EFB0 C321 A725 (KeyID: C321A725) --VS++wcV0S1rZb1Fb Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.13 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkq36dsACgkQEnfvsMMhpyVliACfaoqfDKKRDBZE/indISBpzese npYAn202bxLXHT1iOaM+B3KlYbkivJCD =OKC6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --VS++wcV0S1rZb1Fb--
