dear all,

 I have a home linux server where I would like to do some kind of power
saving.

 I have been looking around to see if I find any howto, but all are
related with laptops.

 What I would like to do is to power up and shutdown the PCs either
remotely or
automatically (with cron) or whatever.

  I have different kinds of computers: Pentium Celeron, Pentium II for
software routers (xDSL) and
Pentium III and AMD K-7 for two servers.

 If it is not easy to do some kind of software suspend/shutdowns or
resumes/powerups, It could be
cheap to do some kind of hardware tweak?

 BTW, I have a small UPS, I have tested that sends the shutdown to the
linux server, but what I would like
to achieve is to for instance to powerup the server at 9 AM and shut it
down at for instance 9 PM.

 Also I would like to know if there is any software to control the
temperature of the CPU or the fans of the box
in the command prompt.

 Many thanks in advance

 Miguel
