Travis,
When you do want to power things down, I suggest one or many of these:
http://www.baytech.net/products/rpcseries.shtml
Not only can you remotely reboot items via a telnet console, but these
devices show True RMS current usage. A clamp meter will show you power
going one way, but in a larger environment full of AC->DC transformers
you can have a significant amount of current going back to the utility.
(changing a sine wave to a square always results in a little bit of
difference, at least, if my terrible diff-eq skills tell me!)
This return current can help to pop breakers as well. When I worked
co-location, the power company noticed my return current and "offered"
to place a filter outside my building at my cost $$$$$. We quickly got a
UPS that filtered this return for us!
Take a look, BayTech is a good Louisiana company that needs the business! :)

The problem is I don't want to power down everything to check it. I
already have a Kill-A-Watt.

WELL.
Hi,
We have a large power bar mounted on a rack that powers several
servers and switches. It keeps popping the breaker that feeds the
bar. Is there any device (ammeter?) that I can measure the amperage
draw on that cord while everything is running?
Thanks,
Travis
