Re: (clug-talk) Remote power on/off/reboot products - recommendations?

[timmy]

Only thing is, of course, if you reboot the box and it is runnig ext2, it might take a while to come back up, and it may also cause file corruption.

You might want to try some kind of out-of-band management, i.e serial port access via a modem, though I don't know what you mean by "crash". Like, totally locked up, so you can't even get a console to work? If so, you might as well just reboot them anyways, though I don't know of Linux dong that too often; mind you, it has happened to me, usually with corrupt harddrives, etc,
