Haven't used powerd (which I thought was more of a power state monitoring deamon for UPSes).
To answer the OPs question, you could shutdown other machines from a server by using a combination of ssh and the shutdown script. Doing something like the following should acheive your goal 1. Setup ssh on the server and clients 2. make sure you have the keys right on the server and client to prevent the remote sshd from asking you for a password 3. write a script to make a ssh connection, to each client requiring shutdown, and run the shutdown script (with the appropriate options to either powerdown or reboot). -Naren On Fri, 22 Feb 2002, USM Bish wrote: > On Fri, Feb 22, 2002 at 11:12:41AM +0530, mukund wrote: > > Use powerd, it switches all the machine when server switches > > off. > > Regards, > > Mukund Deshmukh > > Beta Computronics Pvt.
