 It is possible to save power by turning off clients at night, and turn
 them automatically on in the morning.
 
- - Do not shut them down when they are used.
- - Avoid starting them all at once.
- - use wake on lan or nvram-wakeup
+There are some considerations to make when doing this:
+
+ - The clients should not be shut down when someone is using them.
+   This is done by checking the output from who', and as a special
+   case, checking for the LDM ssh connection command to work with LTSP
+   thin clients.
+
+ - To avoid breaking fuses, it is a good idea to make sure all clients
+   do not start at the same time.
+
+ - There are two different methods available to wake up clients.  One
+   uses the BIOS feature and require a working and correct hardware
+   clock, as well as a supported motherboard and BIOS version
+   (nvram-wakeup), The other require a server with knowledge about all
+   the clients to wake up and for all the clients to have support for
+   wake-on-lan.
 
 To enable automatic shutdown, touch
 /etc/shutdown-at-night/shutdown-at-night, or add the hostname to the


hooks/post-receive
-- 
shutdown-at-night.git (shutdown-at-night Debian package)

This is an automated email from the git hooks/post-receive script. It was
generated because a ref change was pushed to the repository containing
the project "shutdown-at-night.git" (shutdown-at-night Debian package).
