Kirk,
Just curious, but how would it boot with a power outage, and
the generator not up and running? For a generator control I'd leave
the machine up and running all the time, plugged into a decent sized
UPS. That way, there's no lag in the boot up time, the UPS would
keep he PC up and running until the generator came on line, and the
PC could still monitor the power. Keep it simple.
