a PDU with power rebooter is what you need. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jul 31, 2012 at 9:22 AM, Erik Mathis <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:erik@mathists.com" target="_blank">erik@mathists.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Stay away from the Triplite ones. APC has really good ones, but costs<br>
boat loads of money.<br>
<br>
I've never used the one pasted above, but I was already on that<br>
website loking for something else. What ever you get, you will want a<br>
SWITCHED strip verse a metered or monitored. The former only allows<br>
you to login and see how the power is being used. Switched allows you<br>
to turn on/off each port.<br>
<br>
Of course, your network gear needs to come online be for you do this.<br>
