To: hackers@freebsd.org Date: Thu, 9 Sep 1999 16:56:12 +0200 (MET DST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 913 Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG hi, any idea on how to force ATX power supplies to restart after a power outage without having someone press the 'power' button on the front panel ? All the motherboards i can find now have their bios with two options: Disabled no automatic restart on power failure Timer restart at a given time of the day. none of them is satisfactory especially for picoBSD things such as routers or firewalls where an UPS is overkill... cheers luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
