I had that idea but I don't like it because this would require to have ssh keys for atleast the operator group (or do those just have the right to do reboots? root keys would be even worse) on the servers, not something I'd consider to be safe in any manner... Guess I need to get that UPS first. Is there, on the software side, any difference between the small desktop one and the heavy stuff?
