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?
