Here's an interesting one...

Got home tonight from dinner and found that the PowerEdge1550 sitting in my office was running... and had been up for 2hr 43 min. Its running Ubuntu 5.10 (breezy)

It was definitely OFF when I left. I had shut it down late last night (midnight) as you can see in the log. but for whatever reason - at 8:03pm it "restarted"

/var/log/messages says:

Any thoughts? I thought about a magic packet, but I don't think the BIOS is set for Wake on LAN. Plus, it's behind my Linksys - and everyone knows that a router is a firewall right?? :) (so say the Cerient boys) No seriously, it's behind a firewall and there are no ports forwarded to it, etc.

Thanks,
Brian
