 Description: System to shut down clients at night, and wake them in the morning
- Schedule shutdown in the evening, and uses nvram-wakeup or wakeonlan to wake
- clients up in the morning.
+ With this tool you can schedule regular shutdowns of workstations in the
+ evening, and also wake them up using nvram-wakeup or wake-on-lan every
+ morning.
+ .
+ For the wake-on-lan wake-up sequence you need one awake machine on your local
+ network / subnet. This can be a server machine or a client machine that got
+ just previously woken up by nvram-wakeup.
+ .
+ The shutdown sequence will be initiated hourly after 4pm via a CRON job.
+ However, only machines that appear inactive / unused will be shut down.
+ Machines that are currently in use will remain up and running.
+ .
+ The Shutdown-at-Night tool can be activated via a config file or via
+ membership in a NIS netgroup called shutdown-at-night-hosts.
