how to auto self-boot a computer?

by icelemon . Updated 20 years, 2 months ago

question
—————————–
is there a way to auto self-boot a computer, like a software that powers a computer?

thought
—————————–
you know nowadays the computers are not like what they are used to. where the power switches are “dead-wired”, so you can set the computers on a timer plug or a timer extention lead for “self-power” or “self-shutdown”

problem
—————————–
you see my office building is fairely new, so we get an electricity cut during the night. meanwhile i like to leave my machine render 3d images after work, so what im trying to achieve is after the electricity cut. i like to have a program that can bring back the computer online (on power)

current solution
—————————–
its either in BIOS or a function LAN wake-up calls, the down side is the machine’s BIOS doesn’t have a self-boot function.

for LAN wake-up calls we will need to have another machine up and running, but it’ll do no good since the electricity cut will cut off all computers in the same time
