You are right, but my LAN has a total of 5 devices (apart from user PC/laptop/phones) - 2 servers, 1 switch, 1 Wifi and 1 printer. Since the servers and switch are on UPS, they are ruled out. I really want to continue with the discipline of switching off the Wifi box at the end of the day. Using the printer is my best bet - after all, I don't mind a few Type I errors in this system. I will share the script(s) I plan to write for this. Binand -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
