Hi I bought one of the Dell SC420 £99 servers and use it as a Myth backend. Well, one itch for me was that it had a BIOS feature to automatically wakeup or power-on but it wasn't supported by the usual tools (nvram-wakeup). (notice lots of Google dust being sprinkled here :) )
Well, as it happens some of the Dell guys were talking on lkml about their work on a bios control library and I was able (with their help) to hack up a wakeup binary called like this to wakeup at 09:04am : wakeupCtlS --hour 9 --minute 04 --everyday Page here: http://linux.dell.com/libsmbios/main/ Download and 'make minimal' and you'll end up with a binary: ./supported-bins/output/wakeupCtlS I haven't actually hacked it into Myth yet 'cos I need to investigate WOL from a frontend first... HTH some people :) David _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
