    Automaticly Boot and shutdown my server

    Hello,
    I got a question, is there a script or program that automaticly boots my server and shutdown at give hours of a day
    I want to have my server running from 7am till 8pm ever weekday (Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday-Friday)
    is this possible?
    I'm running a Ubuntu 10.04 server with Zentyal on

    Shutdown can be done via an appropiate cron.

    PowerUp is a bit more tricky.

    1) If the NICs of that server support WakeOnLan
    and if there is another machine in the same network segment,
    then this other machine could sent a magic packet.

    2) If the server has decent out-of-band management, you might be able to script that. (using e.g. ipmi or ssh)
    But again: you need another machine to be powered on for that.
    You must always face the curtain with a bow.

    It does not have to be a compleet shutdown or so, it can also be habernate,
    its a file and printer server for a small business
    just a way to reduce the energy bill
