Can I power ON renderfarm via LAN?

[Morne]

Hi all

OK we all know it is pretty easy to shut down the renderfarm via a small script. I want to do it in reverse as in when I shut down the farm overnight, I also switch of the electricity via the DB board. Then the next morning I only want to switch on the DB board, and power on the farm via LAN. How can I do this? It seems there must be a way as most mobo's come with a setting in the bios relating to LAN and wake.

there are alos free software to switch on computers over LAN. e.g. http://www.f-grubert.de/pwrswtch/index.htm
