I have used high-end remote power controllers in the past from Pulizzi and Eaton, but now I want one that is cheap, simple and easily controllable by Linux. We have a Comcast cable modem at work, and it needs the occasional reboot to stay happy (ah, fond memories of Windows 95). My particular modem (SMC8014) doesn't appear to have a wget'able reboot URL, and I want to cold-reboot it anyway.
What have you used for remote power control on the cheap (under $100)? I've heard of X10 being used for this sort of thing, but I don't know how controllable it would be from, e.g., a shell script. --Dave /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
