Hi,
Does anyone have experience with setting up a desktop linux machine to reduce
CPU speed, or anything like that in off hours?
Ideally I would shut my machine off at the end of the day. However I tend to
work remotely, sometimes at odd hours. Are there any mechanisms for going
into a lower power mode on demand?
The machine in question is a dual xeon.
thanks!
Are you talking about standby/sleep mode or cpu scaling/hard drive spin
down?
I've setup cpu scaling using powernowd and cpufreq.
It kinda sounds like you want to use the wake on lan feature of your
motherboard which was specifically invented for this purpose. I've never
tried it and I'm not sure about the security issues involved but check
it out.
