Kasmetski thanks for this!  I think it is ALMOST exactly what I am looking for. The only thing I would like is to hook it through the reset button vs the power button, which means instead of a "press-hold, reset, press" I just simply need the "press" part of the reset sequence. I'm no programmer at all, but looking at the code you have am i right that I could simply remove the "ForceShutDown" portion and leave the "TurnOn" portion and it will just run that part? Or is it more complicated then that?

Is there a way to embed this logic into a PHP form so that in addition to this I can also log in and see the status in real time and manually reset or shut down the servers via the webpage?

P.
