Hi, I've just found out that we're going to have a power-cut this night, so I'm going to make the servers here shutdown before that. That's easy. Now concern now is that the power might go up and down several times during the 4 hours the "power cut", and that will make the servers go up and down just as many times. Unfortunately I can't be here (with the servers) at the time of the powercut, so I'm trying to figure out a way to keep the servers shut down for the entire 4 hour period, even if the power comes back up for a while during that time. Is there any "standard" way to do this? If not, would it be a good idea to write a script that is run early in the startupphase that checks the current time, compares it with a given time and shutdowns the computer if the current time is less than the given time?
